Machine Gun Kelly seems to be feeling misunderstood after facing backlash over a guitar he recently designed.
On Thursday, the 33-year-old “Bloody Valentine” musician appeared to applaud people who criticized the razor-blade guitar he designed with Schecter Guitars — aptly named the “Razor Blade” — that went on sale earlier this week.
“I will never explain my art, because real art is conversational and always up for interpretation, but I will say that most of you keep misinterpreting it. and then blame me for your version of what you think my art is,” MGK wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).
He added: “I’m ultimately saddened by how people perceive me in general. peace.”
Video taken by fans recently featured a pop-punk artist (whose real name is Colson Baker) who unveiled his Razor Blade guitar and told the audience it was “kind of an ode Tickets for My Downfallverse on the ‘title track’ and also an ode to my 20s and all the crazy times I had.”
In the song, which is on MGK’s debut studio album, he sings, “I’m using a razor to take the edge off, ‘Jump off the edge,’ they said.”

During the episode of Travis and his brother Jason Kelce New heights podcast, MGK called and personally offered the Kansas City Chiefs tight end $500,000 in cash to leave his current team and play football for the Cleveland Browns.

“Come home, Trav,” replied the Grammy-nominated musician—who performed at Travis’ 2023 Kelce Jam music festival in Kansas City last year.
“Hey, I’ll tell you something, man. It’s an intriguing offer,” Travis said, mulling over the offer, before pledging his allegiance to the Chiefs. “It’s an intriguing offer because you know how much we love the east side of Cleveland, the Heights, Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, you know bro. I’m not going to lie — the situation is really good in Kansas City.”
“There’s no decision to make now,” MGK said, “but just know that my offer is real and on the table.”
