"Please welcome Machine Gun Kelly and his wife, actress Megan Fox!" was announced at the event.

When Machine Gun Kelly was introduced to the crowd at the 2022 NBA All-Star Game, his date Megan Fox got a shout-out as well.

But “Please welcome Machine Gun Kelly and his wife, actress Megan Fox!” was announced at the event — and while the actress and artist are engaged, they haven’t tied the knot yet.

The camera was on the couple at that very moment, and Fox turned to MGK. Although she covered her mouth with her hand for a moment, it appeared that the amused star was pointing out to her fiancé that she’s not his wife yet.

The pair first connected in spring 2020, when they were filming the movie Midnight in the Switchgrass in Puerto Rico, before things really started heating up between the two in the summer. They announced their engagement in January 2022.

“Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him,” Fox captioned an Instagram post that showed the proposal. “And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes. …and then we drank each other’s blood.”

Watch the clip from the NBA All-Star Game — where Cleveland native MGK helped introduce the teams, and Macy Gray sang the national anthem — below.

Taraji P. Henson opened the show with a hilarious reference to Kendrick Lamar.

Taraji P Henson performed a parody of Kendrick Lamar's hit song, "Not Like Us," to open the 2024 BET Awards on Sunday night. In doing so, she rocked a similar outfit to what he wore for The Pop Out - Ken & Friends concert in Los Angeles, earlier this month. She also changed the lyrics to “it’s about us.”

Fans on social media had mixed responses to the bit. "This is super corny but that song is hot," one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another remarked: "As proven this track took off because of the beat lol." Elsewhere during Henson's opening monologue, she made reference to Donald Trump's recent comments on "Black jobs" during the first presidential debate for the 2024 election. “[This is] a show packed full of all-stars with Black jobs. Whatever that means,” she said. “But clearly we know there’s a difference – thanks for the info, but we already knew it.”

Since dropping the song amid Lamar's viral feud with Drake, "Not Like Us" has become one of his most successful tracks to date. After The Pop Out, Lamar took to the streets of L.A. to record a star-studded music video for the song. He's yet to provide a release date for it, however.
