Celebrity Sobriety

Machine Gun Kelly Credits Teenage Daughter For His Sobriety

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES –

Aug. 20, 2024 – “It started with my daughter saying, ‘Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high?’” MGK recalled, revealing that Casie was just 11 or 12 years old at the time. He further reflected, “It broke my heart. It was the ultimate let down.” It wasn’t until a few years later that MGK finally got sober. The Killshot rapper shared, “It took me a while afterward, because obviously drugs have a vice grip on you. That was step one for me. As a father and as a man, to be the father I wish my dad would have been, I have to break this generational curse for my kid.” 

Born Colson Baker, MGK revealed earlier this month that he’s been “completely sober from everything,” including alcohol, marijuana, and pills, after quietly starting rehab in 2023. 

“I don’t drink anymore. I haven’t drank since last August,” he shared while celebrating one year of sobriety on Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast.
