Machine Gun Kelly acted on a “primal” instinct when a fan rushed the stage during the Forbes Under 30 Summit.
“My man, get the f–k away from me,” Kelly — whose real name is Colson Baker — said in video footage from the Tuesday, October 10, event, which showed him jumping up as a person approached the stage.
“Yo, what are you doing? What are you doing?” Kelly, 33, asked the fan as they stood face-to-face. “This is a bad look. Don’t make me do this.”
Security was quick to grab the fan and carry him off stage. The livestream briefly cut out before the sound returned and Kelly issued an apology.
“I’m sorry, I try to live the dichotomy more on this side than the other guy. I left that guy in the past. I’m really sorry,” the “Emo Girl” singer told the crowd, seemingly referring to his display of aggression. “I do apologize for my primal reaction.”
