Machine Gun Kelly, 32, revealed that he once attempted suicide, while on the phone with Megan Fox, 36, in his new Hulu documentary Life in Pink.
The rapper recalled battling depression following the death of his father and admitted he was in a ‘really, really, really dark’ one day in July of 2020.
‘I wouldn’t leave my room and I started getting really, really, really dark. Megan went to Bulgaria to shoot a movie and I started getting this really wild paranoia. Like, I kept getting paranoid that someone was gonna come and kill me,’ he said in a clip.
His dark days: Machine Gun Kelly, 32, revealed that he once attempted suicide, while on the phone with Megan Fox, 35, in his new Hulu documentary Life in Pink
Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, described the harrowing night saying he ‘just f**king snapped’.
At the time, he phoned his now fiancée, who was on location filming a movie.
‘I called Megan. I was like, ‘You aren’t here for me.’ I’m in my room and I’m, like, freaking out on her,’ he said.

‘Dude, I put the shotgun in my mouth. And I’m yelling on the phone and like the barrel’s in my mouth,’ MGK continued. ‘And I go to cock the shotgun and the bullet, as it comes back up, the shell just gets jammed. Megan’s like dead silent.’
MGK went on to explain that his darkest moment – along with support from Megan and his 12-year-old daughter, Cassie – helped him realize he needed to get himself together.
‘I was like, I need to kick the drugs for real this time,’ he told producers.

Life in Pink pulls back the curtain on MGK’s rise to fame into one of this ‘generation’s polarizing rock star.’
‘I wouldn’t leave my room and I started getting really, really, really dark. Megan went to Bulgaria to shoot a movie and I started getting this really wild paranoia. Like, I kept getting paranoid that someone was gonna come and kill me,’ he said in a clip.
Fans get a first hand account of the Emo Girl hitmaker’s upbringing, relationship with his father, life with Megan Fox and a near-death experience with his daughter.
‘Life wasn’t always like this. I just don’t think anyone saw me coming,’ he recalls in the doc.
His suicide attempt was not the only troubling story told in the film. At one point, in the footage Kelly discussed the scary moment he and his daughter had a ‘gun pulled’ on them.
‘Dude, I put the shotgun in my mouth. And I’m yelling on the phone and like the barrel’s in my mouth,’ MGK continued. ‘And I go to cock the shotgun and the bullet, as it comes back up, the shell just gets jammed. Megan’s like dead silent.’
He remembered thinking: ‘I was like: we’re gonna do this with my daughter in the car?’
Colson Baker had a difficult relationship with his father, who kicked him out of the house when he was young. His father died in 2020.
‘I feel like the world hates me. But, I never gave up,’ he said in a trailer for the doc. ‘Ninety percent of my fans listen to me because of the pain they relate to in my lyrics.’
Life in Pink is currently streaming on Hulu.
