“Yeah, sometimes. I’ll eat, like, a couple times a week."

No to the role of vampire

Coincidentally, the video clip, which was uploaded in early July, is now gaining traction as Machine Gun Kelly recently revealed that he turned down a role in Ryan Coogler's movie' Sinners as he was uncomfortable with the script's racist language. During the Pat McAfee Show, he revealed:

“Like Sinners, I was supposed to be in that. The vampire, they had me set up to do the audition… In the audition, he had to say the “n-word and I wouldn’t do it.”

He added:

“I have a lot of aspirations to be in movies, it just hasn’t panned out that way, There’s been plenty of movies that come out that I was like, ah, I was supposed to be in that, or I did auditions for that.”

Machine Gun Kelly is yet to release his new album, titled "Americana" on August 8, 2025
