Machine Gun Kelly was the star of Saturday's Louder Than Life Festival, Louisville, Kentucky. He got a lot of attention from the crowd when they started booing and flipping him off.
You can see the fan reaction to MGK in the video. There are a few reasons why. He went from being a rapper to a rocker, which is why a lot of metal/rock lovers are unhappy. This is partly purist, partly shade, and maybe he did it out of necessity.

The second reason was that MGK recently trashed Slipknot, claiming that he was happy not to be a 50 year-old man wearing a mask. Slipknot's Corey Taylor was the target. MGK didn't stop there. He claimed that Corey had written a verse for MGK’s album "Tickets to My Downfall", but it was "f**king horrible," so it was 86'd.
I dont like people airing private shit like a child. This is all I will say. I did not do the track because people try to write for my benefit. I told THEM NO. Without further delay. #receipts

Corey continued to own MGK, with receipts in email screenshots. It was clear that MGK loved Corey's track, but it was Corey who lost.
