Frontman of The All-American Rejects, Tyson Ritter, discussed his beef with Machine Gun Kelly during a recent podcast appearance. He told Tuna on Toast with Stryker's host, Ted Stryker, that the beef took place on set of a film Ritter starred in alongside Megan Fox. Ritter says he suggested putting his fingers in Fox's mouth in a scene, leading MGK to go "ballistic."
“I go over [to Fox’s trailer] and there’s her man in there with her. This Colson guy, who you know as Machine Gun Kelly, I call him ‘Pistol Pete," he begins. "I was like, ‘Hey Megan, you know, I wanted to talk to you about this moment where when you die, because you’ve been teasing me, putting your fingers in my mouth, that when you’re dead, I put my fingers in your mouth.'” “Colson like just goes from zero to like rage and awesome, super angry,” he revealed. “He was super bummed about me asking if I could put my fingers in Megan Fox’s mouth and I knew she was right there and he just went ballistic. He kind of went maniac mode.”
Ritter Says MGK Went "Ape" On Him
Ritter explained, “I remember when ‘Pistol Pete’ started going ape on me." He continued, recalling, "I was like, ‘This is really confrontational, but also, like, thank you, dude.'” The frontman says MGK "had this like baby’s arm of a joint dangling out of his mouth," during the confrontation. He went on to reveal MGK was "fully unhinged." Ritter says he "was just like, ‘OK man, I’ll just receive you.’ ’Cause obviously it wasn’t gonna be anything crazy. But yeah that was … holy s–t. It was the greatest gift.” Ritter went on to claim that the two artists never officially made up after the incident.
Rumors of MGK and Fox breaking up began to circulate earlier this year, though the pair has been seen out together since. The couple even took a "healing" Hawaiian vacation together in April. One source told the media then that the two of them are "officially back on after going through a rocky patch in their relationship."
