Miley's Brother Slams MGK, Attacks Megan Fox's Kids
If you have issues with another celebrity, fine, but kids should NEVER ever be used as collateral damage in your drama, but that's just what Trace Cyrus decided to do. Earlier today, the 36-year-old musician, who also happens to be Miley Cyrus's half-brother, took to Instagram to voice his frustrations, where he alluded that people were comparing him to other artists, particularly Machine Gun Kelly. Trace is no stranger to social media rants. In the past, he's released several videos and posts about his estranged relationship with his adoptive father, Billy Ray Cyrus, UFO sightings, supporting Trump, and most recently, his ex and former Disney Channel star, Brenda Song. This time, he took personal shots at MGK while spewing offensive anti-gay comments: "And here's another truth I'm gonna say," Trace began on his Instagram Story. "If I didn't speak this way, and I wasn't as masculine as I am, if I fucking painted my nails and dressed all fucking homosexual like a lot of these artists — you know who I'm talking about — I'd have a record deal, and I'd be one of the fucking biggest artist." "I'm better than all these motherfuckers out there," he continued. "I'm a better fucking songwriter. I'm more fucking unique in all aspects of my life. I'm better looking. It's fucking true. So fuck off with all this shit trying to compare me to other people when I've been around way longer than all these other motherfuckers, and they all jacked my fucking style. So fuck off with that shit." He continued the tirade, this time leaving the subliminal messages behind, and calling the rapper out by his name. While doing so, in a way to disparage MGK, Trace referenced the rapper being signed to Diddy's Bad Boy Records. MGK was signed to Bad Boy from 2012 to if you've been following Diddy's ongoing federal trial, then you know prosecutors allege that the music mogul attempted to "engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice." He is facing five criminal counts and has denied all allegations. "Don't you guys find it odd that Diddy is known for being the president of Bad Boy Records, and nobody he's signed in like the past fucking 10 years I've heard of except for one guy: MGK. that's the only person I know that Diddy signed in the past fucking decade or so? Fucking ridiculous." Trace then targeted MGK's ex-fiancée, Megan Fox, and the three young boys she shares with actor Brian Austin Green from a previous marriage — Noah Shannon Green, 12, Bodhi Ransom Green, 11, and Journey River Green, 8. She welcomed her fourth child, a baby girl, with MGK on March 27. MGK also has a 15-year-old daughter named Casie Colson Baker from a previous relationship with his teen love, Emma Cannon. The Jennifer's Body star has opened up about the way she chooses to parent her children, and why she allows her boys to live freely, instead of "micromanaging" them. After revealing that her oldest son, Noah, began to wear dresses at the age of 2, she refused to tell him that it was wrong. Instead, she bought resources, like books, to help him feel confident. "Sometimes, he'll dress himself, and he likes to wear dresses sometimes," Fox told The Talk in 2019. "And I send him to a really liberal, hippy school, but even there, here in California, he still has little boys going, 'Boys don't wear dresses,' or 'Boys don't wear pink.'" "So we're going through that now, where I'm trying to teach him to be confident no matter what anyone else says," she added, sharing that after he'd recently been laughed at for wearing a dress to school, he told her, ''I don't care, I love dresses too much.'''Some of the books are just about how you can be a boy and wear a dress; you can express yourself through your clothing however you want. And that doesn't even have to have anything to do with your sexuality." Trace appeared to hint at this by referring to her children as trans in a derogatory manner. He then concluded the rant by sarcastically congratulating MGK for choosing Megan to be the mother of their child, based on the kids she's raised thus far. "And what did he do after he signed to Diddy? He got with a girl who has three trans children. They're all trans, somehow. Is it three or four? Three or of her kids are trans. That's the woman that he thought was the best woman that he should be with. That's going to be a great mother for my future child. You're very smart, brother. Great job." Again, you're allowed to dislike people, but he should've never mentioned Megan's kids. It's extremely low. Looking for more LGBTQ+ or Pride content?

Rabid BTS fan tries to break into Jungkook's home hours after K-pop star discharged from mandatory military service
Surprise K-pop-in. A rabid K-Pop fan tried to break into the apartment of BTS member Jeon 'Jungkook' Jung-Kook just hours after he was released from mandatory service in the South Korean military, according to a report. A Chinese woman in her thirties was picked up by Seoul police around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday as she repeatedly tried to enter the security code of Jungkook's apartment door, The Korea Times reported. 3 Jungkook, 27, was discharged from the South Korean Army on Tuesday and had a rabid fan attempting to break into his Seoul apartment on Wednesday, cops said. AP The woman told police that she traveled all the way to the South Korean capital from mainland China to celebrate the 27-year-old pop star's military release after 18 months of service, the outlet reported. Wednesday's attempted break-in is just the latest in an ongoing series of obsessive fans flirting with criminality in efforts to reach members of BTS. Overly enthusiastic fans repeatedly sent food to Jungkook's home in 2023 and during a tour stop in Las Vegas, they incessantly called his hotel room in a stunt he called 'scary,' the Korea Times reported. Jungkook and his bandmate Jimin, 29, were discharged from the South Korean Army on Tuesday as six of the seven-member, internationally popular supergroup finished up their mandatory civil service this month. 3 BTS members Jungkook and Jimin pose in their fatigues as they are discharged from their mandatory 18-month service. Getty Images Photos show the pair proudly saluting in their fatigues — but Jungkook revealed the once familiar flashbulbs now seem foreign. 'Actually, it's been so long since I've been in front of cameras, and I didn't even put on makeup, so I'm a bit embarrassed,' Jungkook told reporters, adding, 'I don't know what to say.' Jungkook and Jimin began their brief military careers in December 2023. BTSers RM, 30, and V, 29, exchanged their camo for sequins on Tuesday, and the band's lead rapper Suga, 32, will complete his mandatory civil service as a social service agent on June 21. 'J-Hope', 31, completed his military service in October 2024. 3 BTS fans were wait to greet Jungkook and Jimin as they ended their civil service and rejoined the ranks of pop stardom. Getty Images The wildly successful K-Pop group put their music career on hold in 2022 with the members complying with the Asian nation's civil service mandate for 18- to 28-year-old men. Millions of fans anticipate a reunion tour, but no such plans currently exist. Instead, J-Hope is currently on an international solo tour that brought him to Brooklyn in March, and Jimin is set to begin his international tour next month.
