Machine Gun Kelly, the 34-year-old rapper known offstage as Colson Baker, has shared a deeply personal revelation about his path to sobriety. In a candid interview on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, MGK opened up about how his 15-year-old daughter, Casie, played a pivotal role in his decision to get sober.
Earlier this month, MGK celebrated a significant milestone: a year of sobriety following a stint in rehab. His journey towards a healthier lifestyle, he reveals, was sparked by a heartfelt conversation with Casie.
During the podcast episode aired on August 18, MGK recounted a moving moment when Casie confronted him about his drug use. “It started with my daughter saying, ‘Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high,’” MGK recalled. The revelation was a profound emotional blow for the rapper, who described it as “the ultimate letdown.”

The realization that he needed to break this cycle for the sake of his daughter was a major motivator. MGK expressed a strong desire to be the father he wished he had growing up and to break the generational curse for Casie.
His story highlights the profound influence that loved ones can have on personal transformation. Machine Gun Kelly’s commitment to sobriety not only marks a new chapter in his life but also underscores his dedication to being a positive role model for his daughter.
