Tension at the Power Slap Event

The conflict between UFC fighter Sean Strickland and musician Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), real name Colson Baker, has continued to escalate since their confrontation at a Power Slap event in Las Vegas in February 2024. The tension began when Strickland mocked Kelly’s appearance, referring to him as a “vampire” and a “goth South Park character.” The incident quickly went viral, drawing media attention and prompting UFC President Dana White to comment,

“You can’t bring Sean Strickland around any other human beings”.

MGK’s Perspective and Advice to Strickland

Machine Gun Kelly recently appeared on Logan Paul’s podcast, Impaulsive, to share his perspective on the altercation. He explained that he was unaware of who Strickland was at the time of their meeting but later learned of his controversial behavior.

“I don’t know this guy from a crumb of bread,” Kelly said. “I didn’t know who he was when I met him. I got hip afterward that he’s insanely racist and homophobic and just not my type of guy, so I would have never wanted to shake his hand in the first place”.

Kelly also critiqued Strickland for his insecurities, suggesting that his behavior stems from a lack of comfort with himself.

“If you’re comfortable as yourself, you don’t care who anybody else is and how they are,” he stated. In a more direct piece of advice, Kelly urged Strickland to “Shut the fck up” and stop talking about him. He added, “But you won’t, and I’m going to continue laughing at you because you’re a fcking idiot”.

Strickland’s Aggressive Response

Strickland, known for his unapologetic and confrontational style, quickly fired back at Kelly’s comments with a series of offensive tweets.

“Getting lectured by a guy who drinks blood and wears a purse,” he tweeted. “Dawg you had a mid-life crisis and tattooed your entire body. The ‘x community of intolerance’ yall I’d hang out with you toxic trolls any day over this cunt… Go back to cutting yourself you f*cking weirdo”.

Strickland’s tweets further provoked Kelly by referencing his past struggles with mental health, which has been a sensitive topic for the musician. Strickland’s response came shortly after Kelly’s podcast appearance, showing his determination to keep the feud alive. Kelly has yet to respond to these most recent comments, but given the nature of their interaction, it’s unlikely that this will be the end of their public dispute.

Ongoing Fallout and Future Implications

Since the incident, both Strickland and Kelly have remained vocal on social media. Strickland’s latest comments have sparked controversy, particularly because of his reference to Kelly’s past self-harm, which many fans found to be crossing the line. Meanwhile, Kelly appears to remain unbothered by Strickland’s insults and has not hesitated to continue calling him out.

Should Strickland and Kelly cross paths again, whether at a UFC event or another Power Slap event, tensions will undoubtedly be high. UFC officials, including Dana White, will likely keep a close watch to prevent further confrontations between the two.

Conclusion

This ongoing feud between Machine Gun Kelly and Sean Strickland highlights the unpredictable nature of celebrity interactions and how quickly they can escalate. As both men are known for their bold personalities, it remains uncertain how or when this dispute will end. However, it is clear that neither is willing to back down anytime soon.
