Machine Gun Kelly might be a singer, rapper and actor, but Media Take Out has learned he has one more important title: Dad.
MGK shares a daughter, Casie Colson Baker, 13, with ex Emma Cannon. Casie was born in 2009 and has a close relationship with her famous dad, both in and out of the spotlight: She’s walked the red carpet with him plenty of times and has appeared on his albums. The “Emo Girl” rapper has even said that he trusts Casie’s musical instincts more than he trusts his own.
The singer discusses his personal life publicly, including his relationship with fiancée Megan Fox, and is very open about sharing his adoration for his daughter.
When Casie turned 13 in July 2022, MGK posted sweet messages to her on Instagram. “You’re officially a teenager today. Happy 13th birthday, my love,” he captioned photos of her holding a cake that said, “OMG YOU’RE A TEENAGER.”
Yesterday the rock star posted a pic of his daughter Cassie, along with an image of his mom – with whom MGK was estranged for many years.
Machine Gun Kelly released four mixtapes between 2007 and 2010 before signing with Bad Boy Records. He released his debut studio album, Lace Up, in 2012, which peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200 and contained his breakout single “Wild Boy” (featuring Waka Flocka Flame). His second and third albums, General Admission (2015) and Bloom (2017), achieved similar commercial success; the latter included the single “Bad Things” (with Camila Cabello), which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. His fourth album, Hotel Diablo (2019), included rap rock.
Machine Gun Kelly released his fifth album, Tickets to My Downfall, in 2020; it marked a complete departure from hip hop and entry into pop punk. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, the only rock album to do so that year, and contained the single “My Ex’s Best Friend”, which reached number 20 on the Hot 100. He achieved similar commercial success with its follow up Mainstream Sellout (2022).
Machine Gun Kelly had his first starring role in the romantic drama Beyond the Lights (2014), and since appeared in the techno-thriller Nerve (2016), the horror Bird Box (2018), the comedy Big Time Adolescence and portrayed Tommy Lee in the biopic The Dirt (both 2019).
