Machine Gun Kelly had a face-off with a stage-crasher at the Forbes Under 30 Summit in Cleveland. During his appearance, a stranger unexpectedly joined him on stage, prompting a swift reaction from MGK.

He forcefully ordered the intruder to leave, saying, “My man, get the f*** away from me,” as he got up, tightened his fists. What are you doing, hey? What do you have to say? It doesn’t look good. Stop forcing me to do this.

I got you, dude,” the stage-crasher appeared to say in response. Here, I wish to support you. Thankfully, no violent altercation took place since security quickly removed the invader off the platform.

The livestream briefly cut out during the incident, but when it returned, MGK acknowledged the situation, saying, “I’m sorry, I try to live the dichotomy more on this side than the other side. I left that other guy in the past, I’m really sorry.”

He also apologized for his “primal reaction,” and the crowd seemed to appreciate how he handled the situation. Machine Gun Kelly has been actively touring in 2023 to promote his recent album, “Mainstream Sellout.”

Though primarily known for his pop-punk work, he released the single “Pressure” this year, briefly returning to his rap roots.
