Machine Gun Kelly Accuses Yungblud of Hypocrisy Over 2025 Tour Cancellation

4 articles · Updated · Rolling Stone Australia · May 20

Machine Gun Kelly publicly accused Yungblud on Instagram of canceling his 2025 North American tour over weak ticket sales, not mental health, sharply escalating their feud.
The attack followed Yungblud’s recent criticism of artists who cancel tours while blaming the live-music climate and rising ticket prices.
Yungblud had called off 2025 dates last year citing mental health, exhaustion and doctor’s orders, a move that already fueled debate over burnout, touring economics and unsold tickets.
The clash deepens a breakdown between two former collaborators on tracks including “I Think I’m OKAY,” after MGK earlier this month also alluded onstage to artists who “switch up” after fame.

Is the feud between former collaborators MGK and Yungblud a genuine fallout or just a savvy marketing stunt?

Did Machine Gun Kelly steal his pop-punk style from Yungblud, as rock royalty like the Osbournes claim?
