Machine Gun Kelly claimed he had been banned from attending Coachella more than a decade ago and that he does not know the reason for the ban.
“Never been to a Coachella,” he wrote. “They banned me in 2012 for whatever reason. I was looking forward to finally going this year, but my daughter’s volleyball tournament ended up on the same days, so y’all will have to let me know how it is. She comes first ✌🏼.”

After the rapper’s tweet, some fans dug up an old tweet from 2012, where the rapper and rock star dissed the annual festival.
“Coachella is a huge joke,” he wrote. “It’s corporate as f-ck, and they only accept the accepted but fake as they don’t. Sad that music is so trendy now.”

In the comments, fans praised the rapper for being a “good dad” and agreed that family should come first.
Is it time for Coachella to lift it’s ban?
