Here's why Machine Gun Kelly made a swift exit from the AMAs 2025 red carpet; find out what happened next
Machine Gun Kelly
may have been scheduled to perform at the 2025 American Music Awards, but the rapper-turned-rocker made a swift exit for a far more personal reason: fatherhood. The artist, born Colson Baker, stunned fans when he appeared solo on the red carpet, only to leave shortly after.
Dressed in a sleek ensemble featuring black trousers, a crisp white shirt layered under a black waistcoat, paired with Converse sneakers and a statement pearl chain, MGK briefly posed for cameras before making his early exit.
Speaking to E! News during his red carpet stop, the 34-year-old star revealed the reason behind his sudden departure. "She has a little bit of a fever. So I'm gonna just walk the carpet and go back, you know what I mean, and handle my business. Give her my pheromones, and let her heal up," he said, referring to his two-month-old daughter with fiancée
Megan Fox
.
Despite being slated to hit the stage, Kelly chose to rush home and tend to their infant daughter, putting parenting first. His absence at the awards was unexpected, but it served as a testament to his deepening commitment to family life.
'She's doing good, overall,' he shared, reassuring fans. MGK, who also shares a 15-year-old daughter, Casie, with ex Emma Cannon, has never shied away from expressing his love for fatherhood.
'I was born to be a dad. Yeah, it's my purpose,' he added with conviction.
Even as he navigates sleepless nights and diaper duty, MGK's creative journey is far from on pause. His latest single, Cliché, dropped on May 23 and marks another chapter in his ever-evolving musical identity. Speaking about the track, he admitted that his experimental sound often baffles listeners at first — but eventually wins them over. 'It's a bop, dude.
I'm overwhelmed with the acceptance that people have for my art that I always seem to just confuse people with at first, and then in the big picture, they end up understanding.
'
Though his absence left a noticeable gap in the AMA 2025 performance lineup, the show still dazzled with high-octane acts from Benson Boone, Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan, Lainey Wilson, and Reneé Rapp, among others.
As for MGK, he might have missed the spotlight this time — but it's clear he found something far more meaningful in the quiet moments at home.

The K-pop idol delighted his fans by sharing yet another update from the last few days of his mandatory military service. Along with the pictures, RM also shared a countdown for his fans, which read D-3, indicating that he has his bags packed for his discharge on June 10. Taking to his Instagram Stories on Friday, June 6, the 30-year-old BTS leader shared a collage of photos. In the first picture, RM, in his military uniform, posed solo while making a goofy face. The next three snapshots were with his colleagues. They were seen having the best time of their lives at the photobooth just before their discharge. RM's recent update was shared by fans on Reddit. And in no time, many flocked to the comment section to react to his pictures. One fan said, 'We're almost there!!! I know we're excited but there's no one more excited than Namjoon."

Suga is scheduled to complete his duties by June 21. According to a statement released by BTS' agency BigHit Music, the four members will not be directly discharged from their military bases. Instead, they will address fans in private, low-key events at separate designated locations. The agency emphasised that these will not be any public events. RM and V, who both enlisted in December 2023 but served in different divisions, RM in the Capital Defense Command and V in the elite Special Duty Team, will greet fans from Chuncheon.
