Machine Gun Kelly defends tribute song against criticism

Machine Gun Kelly has defended his new song, "Your Name Forever," after a critique from music reviewer Jesea Lee. The song is a tribute to his late friend, Luke "The Dingo" Trembath, who died unexpectedly in February at 38. Jesea Lee suggested that some listeners might dislike the song simply because it's by MGK. In response, Machine Gun Kelly wrote on social media, "Why would you insert a random comment about 'you might hate this because it's MGK'?" He expressed that the song is deeply personal and asked critics to be more mindful. The artist, whose real name is Colson Baker, also shared how emotional the song was to create. He recalled feeling compelled to switch songs while in the studio, leading to the creation of "Your Name Forever" just hours after his friend's passing. "It turned into Dingo's song," he said, revealing the powerful connection behind the lyrics. MGK has openly grieved the loss of Trembath, describing him as a brother and a true "rockstar." Recently, he also shared his excitement about becoming a father with ex-fiancée Megan Fox. Machine Gun Kelly's remarks have resonated with fans, and he continues to express love and support for his late friend.
