Machine Gun Kelly Issues Statement On “The Source” Power 30 Performance Controversy

    On Friday (September 28), Machine Gun Kelly was slated to perform at The Source’s Power 30 reception, which took place at the Microsoft Store in Atlanta, Georgia’s Lenox Square Mall.

    At the start of his performance, MGK hopped onto a table that had laptops and other electronics on it, and began stomping around on the table, which got his show immediately cut short and kicked out of the store.

    However, Kelly disputes actually stepping on any equipment. The rapper released a statement regarding the matter:

    “Last Friday, I was asked to perform at The Source’s Power 30 reception and honored to do so. My only goal was to give a great performance. Contrary to what is being reported by the media, I did not stomp on any computers, damage any store property nor were the police called on my behalf. There was some confusion as to where I should perform. But, in the end, it was all resolved. I’d like to thank The Source for the opportunity and let the people at Microsoft know I meant no disrespect.”

    Microsoft also issued a statement:

    “On Sept. 28, The Source held a private event at the Microsoft Lenox Square Store. We offer our stores as a venue for the community to use, and this event was not sponsored by Microsoft. While the artist’s behavior was appropriate for a concert, some of it was not appropriate in a store environment.”

      1. Im white also and sad to say but I hate white rappers especially White Girl Mob and Rascal or Rif Raff. I use to be a EM fan but he is pop and annoying.

    1. LIL WAYNE IS GAY IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT TRENT !!!!!!!!!! WHO THE FUCK IS TRENT??

      Trent cole
      trent reznor
      trent robertson
      these nigga and you niggas fake as fuck .

    2. Why the hell would they get MGK to do a show at a mall? If they have any experience with this dude its that he has no idea how to behave. Which works on a stage, but not in a store with highly valuable products lol. Even on Hip Hop Squares the dude is bouncing all over his table and chair and can’t keep still, he’s a total spaz.

    3. you guys crazy or some ? white rappers suck lol fo real son , iam fuckin white man , ill bill ,la cokanostra, chino xl,viny paz,necro,even em whne he first came out was dope , now come on ya all these white rappers are the shit better then 90 % of wat its out there

      1. crack is wack and chino xl is not white that tells me white rappers are wack. When you have to claim someone thats not fully white.

    4. MGK was actin a fool that day and probably should rethink his career choices. Maybe drive a big rig, work at a laundry mat/bowling alley, or everyone’s favorite, pump gas.
