Bob Dylan Randomly Posts 2016 Machine Gun Kelly Performance Video on Instagram — Leaving Rapper in Shock: 'What the F—?'
Is Bob Dylan a Machine Gun Kelly Fan?
The Nobel Prize-winning music icon, 83, surprised his Instagram followers on Feb. 26 by randomly sharing a 2016 video of MGK freestyle-rapping at an Orlando Record store — and the "My Ex's Best Friend" artist is shocked.
"wtf," wrote MGK alongside a screenshot of Dylan's post on his Instagram Stories. "this was not on my 2025 bingo card."

He then shared a front-facing selfie video to the platform and spoke about Dylan sharing the clip. "Cool moment that just happened," said MGK.
"I'm in my conversation pit in my house having a whole discussion about, 'Am I doing the right thing? Is this the right direction for this album? I'm questioning it," he explained. "And in the same breath that I'm questioning it, someone goes, 'Bob Dylan just posted a video of you.' And I'm like, 'There must be another Bob Dylan. Whatever.'"
The "Papercuts" performer continued, "We got to his Instagram, he did post a video. I'm like…Just the originator of doing everything opposite of what people wanted him to do, randomly posting a video of me back in the day rapping in a vinyl shop. I'm just like, 'What the f---?'"

"Just trust the signs, man," concluded MGK. "That was so cool. I'm so grateful. So random."
Dylan's been quite active on Instagram as of late, and he's shared clips of various artists performing as well as footage from films.
