"Dom has not commented directly as he is so busy focusing on his sold-out North American tour," a representative for Yungblud said.

Yungblud (aka Dominic Harrison) and MGK (aka Colson Baker) – formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly – may have been friends once, but now it seems those days are over, as MGK has described Yungblud as a “silver-spooned preachy wanker.”

Earlier this week, MGK responded to a video in which Yungblud promoted his festival, Bludfest, which was born from the singer’s frustration about too-expensive festival tickets.

He also blasted the current state of the touring industry, saying “live music has become inaccessible,” and that artists such as Pussycat Dolls and Zayn have recently cancelled tours because fans couldn’t afford tickets to their large-scale shows.

In a since-deleted social media comment that’s since been screen-shotted and shared online, MGK wrote, “You cancelled a tour because you couldn’t sell tickets blamed it on mental health then got parazzi’d at Nobu the next day Pinocchio. And your actual tour tickets are still the same price as every other artist. Shut the fuck up you silver spooned preachy wanker.”

A standard ticket to Yungblud’s Bludfest, held in Czechia this June, costs €108 – that’s $175 AUD to see Yungblud, Primal Scream, Biffy Clyro, Palaye Royale, Pale Waves and more. On the singer’s recent Australian tour, ticket prices didn’t go above $160 – a reasonable number when many international tours charge upwards of $200 for tickets.

Responding to MGK’s comment, a representative for Yungblud told TMZ, “Dom has not commented directly as he is so busy focusing on his sold-out North American tour and finishing his next album. He genuinely hasn’t got time to engage in any of this, but we wish MGK the very best.”

Consequence of Sound reports that the tension between the pair began in 2024. Yungblud appeared on The Osbournes Podcast and didn’t defend MGK when Kelly Osbourne alleged that MGK stole Yungblud’s look when he moved from rap music to pop-punk.

MGK discussed that moment on the Garza Podcast earlier this month, where he said, “When someone's given an opportunity to defend their friend, and they don't, that breaks my heart. It shatters me. Be my friend the same way in public that you are in private. That shit hurt me.”

The feud heated up last month when MGK released a single called Fix Ur Face featuring Fred Durst. He already admitted that the song was a reference to the British star, featuring lyrics about “Mickey Mouse kids turned rockstars” who were “Leaving private schools, tryna be outlaws.”

Yungblud attended a private boarding school growing up, and the Mickey Mouse kids reference comes from his appearance on the British Disney Channel series The Lodge.
