Machine Gun Kelly Disses Slipknot at Riot Fest, Corey Taylor Claps Back on Twitter

Tussling with UFC champ Conor McGregor at the MTV Video Music Awards apparently wasn't enough drama for Machine Gun Kelly. Hungry for the beef, MGK recently dissed Slipknot at Riot Fest while the two were performing simultaneously on different stages. In the middle of his set, MGK pressed pause on the hip hop to address the crowd, 'Hey, you wanna know what I'm really happy that I'm not doing? Being 50 years old wearing a f-cking weird mask on a f-cking stage talking shit.' Once a wild boy, always a wild boy.

MGK's callout wasn't exactly arbitrary. Some are speculating that the feud actually started last year, when Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor indirectly trash talked MGK on Cutter's Rockcast podcast: 'I hate all new rock for the most part. I hate the artists who failed in one genre and decided to go rock–and I think he knows who he is. But that's another story.' And now we might have some insight into that story. After getting mocked for publicly blasting Slipknot, MGK took to Twitter to spill the tea, claiming that Taylor was just salty because MGK rejected a verse he had done for a track on 'Tickets to My Downfall'

Corey Taylor denied the claim and clapped back with receipts in the form of an email exchange, revealing MGK to be the reject. If you've ever wanted to see Slipknot and Machine Gun Kelly fans go to war with each other on the Bird App, now's your chance. Keep scrolling for a thorough summary of the saga.
