Machine Gun Kelly's Life in Pink Documentary Revelations
Machine Gun Kelly Opens Up About His Trauma and Struggles in "Life in Pink" Doc
![MGK's passion for his music had a negative impact on his relationships with friends, family, and his daughter, Casie. In the documentary, Casie recalls her father's obsession with having a No. 1 album, so much so that it pulled him away from her. "He has to get the top and the best of literally everything, and it's sometimes so annoying and so damaging," she says. ". . . he's so focused on the number, and he's so focused on that one thing, that he blocks everything and he stops caring about everything around him." She also mentioned that after MGK stopped dealing with drugs, he transferred that addiction to other things like his career — which caused him to miss out on spending quality time with her.
MGK's perfectionism helped him realize that fatherhood should be his number-one priority. MGK obsessed so much over making his "Mainstream Sellout" album No. 1 that it pushed a lot of people in his life away. He soon realized he needed to reevaluate his priorities in life and his career. He says, "It feels like I've dug a little too deep of a hole in that section of my life, and I really need to get the f*ck out of it and dig more into what matters most, which is being a great father."
MGK's friends and family believe Fox has been a positive influence on the musician's life. MGK has been vocal about how much Fox has impacted his life for the better, but even his friends and family see the difference she's made. "Megan being there is a good comfort to him because she also helps him get through all of his being sad and having anxiety," Casie says. Slimxx adds: "I feel like Megan is the light that he kind of needed in his life, the light that he's been searching for."
MGK's current focus is being his daughter's "number-one supporter." Through all the ups and downs, MGK shares that he understands what's most important in his life aside from music — his daughter, Casie. "The most important thing, and I forget this a lot of time, is [that] it's about memories that you create with them. I can't waste any more of those times 'cause now she needs me," he says. "I need to be able to help her blossom into the person she's going to become. She's the future of my legacy, and she's going to create her own. I want to be her biggest fan."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/_6yuA79_pM_csf8Bqh298EPdfxs/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2022/06/28/848/n/1922283/843a72612118bc6b_MGK_LIP_Set6_0247RT/i/MGK-passion-for-his-music-had-negative-impact-on-his.jpg "MGK's passion for his music had a negative impact on his relationships with friends, family, and his daughter, Casie.
