Machine Gun Kelly responds to criticism after “awkward” Brazilian Grand Prix interview
nme.comMachine Gun Kelly has responded to a wave of criticism online after taking part in an “awkward” interview at the Brazilian Grand Prix.The moment took place when the musician was approached by Sky Sports’ presenter Martin Brundle, who went up to him on the grid walk at the Formula One event and caught him for a quick chat.In the footage – which has been shared to the Sky Sports F1 Twitter page – the 33-year-old rapper was asked about how his career was going.
Here, he began fiddling with the poppy on Brundle’s shirt, and responded: “I don’t think about my career.”From there, the host said “Well good luck with it, whatever you do”, before discussing Formula One and the ties between the motor racing world and the music industry.
However, the interview took a turn as Machine Gun Kelly then asked the host to give him his “best air guitar”.Brundle declined, saying that he had only ever dabbled with piano in the past, before MGK asked him to provide some air keys to his air guitar.
When Brundle didn’t join in the musician gave a thumbs-down gesture to the camera before walking off.Brundle then walked away, still live, and joked: “Something tells me I won’t be on his Christmas card list.”A classic Martin Brundle gridwalk moment with Machine Gun Kelly.
