Eminem has been dragged into Machine Gun Kelly’s rumored break-up with Megan Fox.
Rumors of a potential break-up between MGK and the Transformers star began circulatiing on Sunday (February 12) after the latter posted a cryptic lyric from Beyoncé’s Lemonade alongside a video of a burning envelope on Instagram.
Fox then deleted every photo featuring Kelly and unfollowed everyone on the platform except for Eminem, Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet, before deactivating her profile entirely.
“You can taste the dishonesty/It’s all over your breath,” Fox wrote in her cryptic IG caption.
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox confirmed their relationship in June 2020 after sparking dating rumors following Fox’s appearance in the Tickets To My Downfall rapper’s sultry “Bloody Valentine” music video.
The news of a potential breakup comes shortly after the pair announced they were engaged in January.
“Beneath the same branches we fell in love under, I brought her back to ask her to marry me,” Kelly wrote in a lengthy Instagram post at the time. “I know tradition is one ring, but I designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald [her birth stone] and the diamond [my birth stone] set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love. 1-11-2022.”
Megan Fox following Eminem on Instagram is also telling considering his rivalry with MGK over the years. It began in 2012 after the Cleveland, Ohio native tweeted that Slim Shady’s daughter Hailie Jade looked “hot as fuck.” Em responded to the disrespect on his 2018 Kamikaze track “Not Alike.”
“If you wanna come at me with a sub, Machine Gun/ And I’m talkin’ to you, but you already know who the fuck you are, Kelly/ I don’t use sublims and sure as fuck don’t sneak-diss/ But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie,” he rapped.
MGK returned fire with “Rap Devil,” which prompted Em to respond with “Killshot” before the feud fizzled out.
“I said what I said. I don’t give a fuck,” MGK later told Everyday Struggle in 2019. “You can’t hoe me. That should be the narrative for any generation. You can’t just hoe us just because you’re a legend. That was weird. It was out of nowhere. It was weird. It was ill-timed. Mac’s [Miller] death had just happened. It was weird.”
Kelly then revealed that he penned “Rap Devil” while he was drunk.
“We went in locker room of a place where we were at and I just did it on the spot after that shit released, in a matter of hours dude,” he continued. “I was with Odell the night before, celebrating the $100 million contract thing. I was still just drunk, like, ‘This muthafucka.’”
In an interview with Howard Stern in 2020, Kelly reaffirmed there is still bad blood between the pair, but said the disses lobbed at him by Em on 2020’s Music To Be Murdered By didn’t phase him in the slightest.
“I don’t feel any type of way about it,” he said. “I’m like asleep on my tour bus and this fucking guy drops an album with like three songs consecutively talking about me. What the fuck you think I’m going to do, just fucking roll over and go back to sleep? I said what I said. Respect the fight, that’s it.”
Jelly Roll has opened up about the steps he took to lose 275 pounds or 125 kilograms without relying on weight loss medications.
For the past two years, the artist has consistently updated fans on his health journey, after reaching a peak weight of 540 pounds or 245 kilograms.
In a recent interview with U.S. Men’s Health magazine that was published on Friday, Jelly, whose real name is Jason DeFord, shared that he has now reached his target weight of 265 pounds or 120 kilograms.
Although the Son of a Sinner artist briefly experimented with a GLP 1 medication early on, he said he stopped taking it after only “two weeks”.
Looking back on his physical transformation, Jelly said confronting his struggles with food was the turning point.
“Once I started treating food like an addiction, it started changing everything for me,” the 41 year old told the publication. “When I started really looking at the source of why I was eating. What was I eating for?”
Following a comprehensive medical examination, doctors found that Jelly had high cholesterol and testosterone levels comparable to those of a “preteen boy”.
From there, the Need a Favor star began hormone therapy and enlisted chef and sports nutritionist Ian Larios to help overhaul his eating habits.
“A lot of dudes get to their bottom dollar, and we're like, 'I'm changing! Tomorrow in the morning when I wake up, I'm a different person!' We attack it all at once. 'I'm gonna run! I'm gonna lift! I'm gonna eat right,” he continued. “Listen, man, because I've done this before: Just pick one of those. And you know which one you need to pick? Food. Start there.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Jelly reflected on the emotional toll his weight once took on him, describing a sense of constant sadness.
“I was a prisoner to my own body. Dude, wiping my a*s was a problem. Washing myself properly was a problem. Getting in cars. Every decision I made in life had to be based on my weight,” the Tennessee native shared.
