Yungblud’s team has responded after his former friend and collaborator Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) mocked his cancelled tour dates and labelled him a “preachy w**ker”.
The messy feud kicked off earlier today when Yungblud shared an interview clip of himself discussing “unaffordable” ticket prices in the music industry as the reason why “artists are cancelling” shows and tours.
The clip came after Yungblud cancelled the remaining dates of his 2025 world tour late last year, saying he was ordered by his doctor to “take a break”.
The musician has since resumed his world tour in 2026.
While Yungblud cited doctor’s orders as the reason for the axed tour dates, MGK had other ideas when responding to the musician’s Instagram clip this morning.
“You cancelled a tour because you couldn’t sell tickets, blamed it on mental health, then got paparazzi’d at Nobu the next day, Pinocchio,” MGK wrote in a since-deleted comment.
Yungblud was papped by TMZ at the ritzy restaurant shortly after cancelling the dates, but MGK’s tirade went on to slam Yungblud’s mention of “unaffordable” tickets as hypocritical.
“Your actual tour tickets are still the same price as every other artist. Shut the f**k up your silver spooned preachy w**ker,” he wrote.
Yungblud’s team quickly responded to the barbs in a statement to TMZ. “[Yungblud] has not commented directly as he is so busy focusing on his sold-out North American tour and finishing his next album,” the representative said.
“He genuinely hasn’t got time to engage in any of this but we wish MGK the very best.”
It marks the latest escalation in a feud which fans believe kicked off in 2024, when Yungblud appeared as a guest on The Osbournes Podcast and failed to defend MGK when hosts Kelly and Sharon Osbourne claimed MGK had copied Yungblud’s aesthetic.
The beef kicked up a notch earlier this year when MGK released the song “Fix Ur Face”. It included a lyric about “Mickey Mouse kids turned rockstars”, which many linked to Yungblud, who starred in the Disney UK show The Lodge in 2016.
Yungblud and MGK were once close collaborators, having worked together on songs like “Body Bag”, “Acting Like That” and “I Think I’m OKAY” featuring Travis Barker.
MGK wrapped up his Lost Americana tour last month, while Yungblud finished his own run of shows Down Under in January. I’ll leave you now with our Yungblud interview from way back when, where we asked him questions while straightening his hair.
