See Oli Sykes join MGK onstage for their first live performance of Maybe
Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes joined Machine Gun Kelly onstage in Germany this weekend as the pair performed their 2022 collab Maybe live together for the first time.
Machine Gun Kelly adds a new rap verse to recent single papercuts during MTV VMAs performance: 'Y'all said that I switched genres / I saw the limit and then took it farther…'
Following a surprising altercation with Conor McGregor on the red carpet before the show, Machine Gun Kelly hit the stage at last night's MTV VMAs clearly totally unfazed for a powerful performance of papercuts.
Alongside drummer and frequent collaborator Travis Barker, MGK pulled out all the stops during the killer performance of his recent single, with pyro, a face full of thorns, and even a brand-new rap verse featuring lines like, 'Y'all said that I switched genres / I saw the limit and then took it farther,' and, 'I am a genius, could’ve made Donda / But this song is for my dead father.'

Kells is of course also performing papercuts live during his current U.S. headline tour, which kicked off a couple of days ago. His epic 32-song setlist during the sold-out run features a ton of Tickets To My Downfall material, plus a cover of Paramore's Misery Business, his Travis and YUNGBLUD collab I Think I'm OKAY, and much more.
Anyway, watch papercuts from the MTV VMAs below:
