Machine Gun Kelly shares sweet snap with mum who abandoned him as a child

Machine Gun Kelly has shared a sweet snap of him alongside his mum to Instagram.

The musician, 32, shared the image to social media on Thursday evening alongside the caption: "Introducing... my mom."

The pair are seen sitting cross legged in front of a garage while lovingly leaning in towards each other.

Alongside big smiles, MGK is flashing the middle finger, while his mum does the peace sign.

Many fans and stars took to the post to share their appreciation. Within eight hours of it being uploaded, over 614k people had liked the image, with Kourtney Kardashian among them.

In the comments section, the likes of director Elias Michael and photographer Casey McPerry left a love heart emoji, while TV personality Vas J Morgan gushed: "She's beautiful."

The musician, whose real name is Colson Baker, was born in Houston and his mum is said to have left the family home when he was only nine years old.

He has touched upon the incident in his music, including his 2019 song titled Burning Memories. The tune appeared on his fourth studio album called Hotel Diablo.

In the opening lyrics of the rap song, he says: "Yeah, this one's for the mama that I never knew (Never knew); I took acid just to burn all of my memories of you."

Later in the tune, MGK says: "How'd you leave your only child at nine for another dude?; Took that pain and punched my father in the stomach 'til he bled'.

"All the years that you ignored me, left me sleepless in the bed; I hope that he got some kids because your only son is dead."

In July 202, Machine Gun revealed his dad had died on the one-year anniversary of the release of the album.

In April, MGK's fiance Megan Fox, 35, said she had been dreaming of her new fiance since she was four years old, adding she thinks that she "made him".

The beauty told told Glamour UK : "Because he’s literally my exact physical type that I’ve been manifesting since I was four. I’m also four years older than him.

"So, I think I made him. My thoughts and intentions grew him into the person that he is, who knows what he would’ve looked like or been like if it wasn’t for me."
