Rapper makes truly bizarre claim about believing he could be part alien
Rapper Machine Gun Kelly has claimed that he thinks he might be part alien in a bonkers admission during a chat show.
The 35-year-old rapper, real name Colson Baker, isn't afraid of a quirky confession or two, recently admitting that he doesn't really eat and just drinks lots of water, bone broth, and a little kimchi.
The Bad Things rapper – who welcomed a little girl with ex-partner Megan Fox just a few months ago– has now made another outlandish claim as he discussed his age and parentage.
During a Sunday night appearance on Andy Cohen's Bravo talk show Watch What Happens Live, he was speaking about his 16-year-old daughter.
Seemingly surprised that he has a daughter who was a teenager, Andy asked how old MGK is.
'It's a weird thing, dude, I don't know if my age… I don't know if it exists,' he said, only further confusing the host.
Andy asked: 'You have a Mariah Carey connection to your age? It's very fluid?' making a reference to Mariah's admitted refusal to acknowledge the passing of time.
'I don't know many facts about my life, so I don't know,' MGK said. 'I'm starting to be like, if my skin rips open, it heals really quick. I'm starting to be like, 'Who's my dad?''
Andy asked: 'Do you think you could be otherworldly?'
'I asked my mom, 'Is there any period of time you went missing? A tall, slender creature?'' Kelly replied. 'She told me she felt like she got abducted at one point.'
'So there may be something to this?' asked Andy.
'No, there really is!' he said. 'I'm bad at talking, I shouldn't have come on a talk show.'
Kelly's parents were both Christian missionaries when he was a child, leading him to move around a lot. His mother left home when he was nine years old, and he and his father moved to Denver soon after. He experienced poverty growing up with his father facing depression and unemployment.
MGK shares a 16-year-old daughter named Casie with his ex Emma Cannon. The pair got together as teenagers, with Casie being born when Kelly was just 19.
For any fans confused about his age, the rapper was born in 1990, and has a large tattoo that reads 'Est 1990' emblazoned on his chest in case he ever forgets.
Kelly has two children, another daughter named Saga Blade Fox-Baker with Megan Fox. The couple announced their engagement last January, but then called things off by December, just weeks after announcing they were expecting a child together. More Trending
An insider previously told People Magazine that they are focused on co-parenting their little girl together.
'Whatever issues they have, Megan and MGK both are on the same page when it comes to co-parenting,' the source said. 'Right now they're amicable.'
'No one would be surprised if they gave their relationship another try down the line,' they added.

Narinder Kaur criticises BBC's decision to cast Thomas Skinner on Strictly
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Narinder Kaur has questioned the BBC casting Thomas Skinner on Strictly Come Dancing. This week the line-up for the upcoming season of the long-running series was released, with some of the celebrities taking part including Vicky Pattison, Dani Dyer and Alex Kingston. Yesterday it was also announced that former The Apprentice star Thomas, 34, had signed up. 'I'm beyond excited to be joining Strictly Come Dancing. I've tackled the boardroom and some big breakfasts in my time but stepping onto the dance floor under that glitter ball is next level stuff!' he said. 'I've never danced in my life (other than at weddings) but I'm ready to graft and of course have a laugh. Bring on the sequins, sambas and most importantly, the BOSH to the ballroom!' Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. However, his casting has caused some backlash, including from TV star Narinder, who also claimed she was told that she was 'too controversial' for the show herself. Narinder, I respect that you stand up for what you believe in, not everyone's got the guts to do that. Yes, I've got a past, but I'm not here to divide people. I'm just trying to get people to believe in themselves and realise they can do more than they think. Life can be so much… — Thomas Skinner ⚒ (@iamtomskinner) August 14, 2025 In the caption of a video posted to X, the Jeremy Vine panellist and former Big Brother star, 52, said: 'Apparently I was deemed too controversial for @bbcstrictly because they only hire quiet brown and black women that fit in a box. 'But you can be a white man AND be controversial and you'll be hired on the spot! Hello Thomas Skinner!!' In a statement, she added: 'There's only so much you can say in a short video, but I felt something many others have been feeling all day and that was complete shock and utter bewilderment – to see Thomas be announced in the line-up, considering all the rhetoric about how people with right-wing opinions are cancelled and not allowed on the BBC. 'I've debated Tom on Good Morning Britain before, I supported his book release at his launch party, there is a huge disparity in what certain demographics of people are allowed to say and still get one show after another. 'I met the Strictly team at the TV Choice Awards earlier this year and got talking to one of the bookers about the show generally – and she said, 'You're a bit too controversial and we can't have that for the show',' she added. Soon after Skinner replied directly to her post. 'Narinder, I respect that you stand up for what you believe in, not everyone's got the guts to do that. Yes, I've got a past, but I'm not here to divide people. I'm just trying to get people to believe in themselves and realise they can do more than they think. 'Life can be so much better when you let happiness in and don't always be angry towards others. If I've ever upset you, I'm sorry… that's never been my intention. I wish ya nothing but peace, happiness, and a life you can truly enjoy. Bosh.' He also addressed the backlash from the public, writing: 'They say don't read the comments on social media. But I couldn't help myself. I've had absolute pellets all day on my Instagram about going on Strictly. Why are some people so angry that don't even know me.' In recent weeks Skinner claimed he'd faced 'death threats' and 'vile comments' about his children after sharing a series of posts on social media in which he said, 'something's gone wrong' in the UK, and that 'there is nothing wrong with being proud of where you're from'. He also sparked criticism for writing that it 'was not far-right' to be 'flying your flag and loving your country'. The TV star and businessman said that London was 'hostile', 'tense' and 'not safe out there anymore'. More Trending Earlier this week he also met US vice president JD Vance, who is currently holidaying in the Cotswolds. During the 2024 United States presidential election, Skinner expressed support for Republican candidate Donald Trump. I love Trump I think he is brilliant, that's my opinion. I think it's good he is back in charge, it will be good for the UK economy,' he said. Since appearing on The Apprentice in 2019, Skinner has also appeared on 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Wheel, Michael McIntyre's Big Show, Good Morning Britain, Faking It, and Celebrity MasterChef.

Sturgeon: I do not agree with Forbes being banned by Fringe venue
The former SNP leader told reporters in Edinburgh that she disagreed with cancel culture. It comes amid a row over the Summerhall venue's decision not to have Ms Forbes back at any future events following a fringe show organised by The Herald newspaper. The venue has reportedly suggested that John Swinney's deputy posed a safety and wellbeing risk to its staff over her views on trans rights. Kate Forbes has been banned by the Summerhall arts venue in Edinburgh (Andrew Milligan/PA) Ms Forbes is a devout Christian and a member of the socially conservative Free Church of Scotland. She was criticised during her SNP leadership battle for her stance on gay marriage, abortion and trans rights. Ms Sturgeon, who appointed Ms Forbes as finance secretary while she was first minister, was asked whether she agreed with Summerhall's decision. 'I don't agree with cancel culture and I don't agree with that,' she said. She added that she took no responsibility for the venue's decision. Summerhall, which has received more £600,000 in government funding, previously held Herald Unspun live events with Mr Swinney and Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, the latter of whom has U-turned over his stance on gender self-ID. Ms Forbes expressed disappointment at the venue and said she 'fervently' believes in freedom of speech. 'Any effort to cancel people, especially politicians, undermines democracy,' she said. Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon has been appearing at events in Edinburgh (Jane Barlow/PA) 'Many people attended the Herald event and it is important that we could freely discuss and debate matters in a respectful manner. 'I respect and acknowledge the fact that, in a liberal democracy, there are people who will agree with me and others who will disagree with me. 'That is all the more reason to create events where the audience and journalists can question politicians openly, as the Herald did.' In a statement, the Summerhall venue said: 'This event was booked as a series of long-form interviews prior to the guest list being confirmed. 'Summerhall Arts primary concern is the safety and wellbeing of the artists and performers we work with, and going forward we will be developing robust, proactive inclusion and wellbeing policies that would prevent this oversight in our bookings process happening again.' Shona Robison, who succeeded Ms Forbes as Finance Secretary, also defended her colleague, calling Summerhall's decision 'unwise and unnecessary'.
