Machine Gun Kelly Says His Daughter Casie Helped Him Get Sober

Buy Me A Coffee

Machine Gun Kelly—yes, the same guy who made eyeliner cool again—has decided to hang up his wild-child persona and embrace the sober life. The 34-year-old “Emo Girl” rapper, who moonlights as Colson Baker when he’s not wearing skinny jeans, recently celebrated one whole year of sobriety after taking a detour through rehab town.

So, what was the grand catalyst that got MGK to trade his red Solo cup for a bottle of Perrier? Enter his 15-year-old daughter, Casie, armed with wisdom well beyond her years and a one-liner that hit harder than any of his rap verses.

In an episode of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast on Sunday (because, where else would you drop life-altering news?), MGK shared the story of how his daughter became his unexpected life coach. Apparently, Casie walked into the room, saw her dad, and dropped a truth bomb that would have made Dr. Phil proud: “Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high.”

Now, most teenagers might be content with passive-aggressively texting from their rooms, but not Casie. Her words went straight for the feels, and MGK felt it like a slap from a reality-check fairy. “It broke my heart,” he confessed, probably while wondering if this was how his life became an after-school special. “It was the ultimate letdown.”

MGK went on to explain that Casie was about 11 or 12 when she decided to serve up this tough love. Clearly, she’s been prepping for the role of ‘Dad’s Guardian Angel’ for a while now.

But as we all know, the road from rock bottom to redemption is paved with good intentions and a ton of therapy bills. MGK admitted that it wasn’t exactly an overnight transformation. “It took me a while afterward, because, let’s be honest, drugs have a grip on you like an overly attached ex,” he said, probably with a wistful look at his old party playlist.

However, this was just step one in MGK’s quest to become the father he wishes his own dad had been. No pressure, right? He’s not just breaking bad habits; he’s out to shatter generational curses like a rock star smashing a guitar. And all for the sake of his daughter, who clearly has a future in motivational speaking.

So, here’s to MGK—sober, sentimental, and maybe one step closer to that father-of-the-year award. If nothing else, he’s given us all a reminder that even rock stars need a little tough love from their kids now and then.
