Machine Gun Kelly’s daughter gave him the impetus to tackle his alcohol problems. The singer has been sober for a year.
His daughter Casie (15) persuaded Machine Gun Kelly (34) to quit alcohol. The rapper checked himself into a rehab clinic last year. “It started with my daughter saying: ‘Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high?’ That broke my heart,” Kelly explained in the podcast “Million Dollaz Worth Of Game”.
For Colson Barker, aka Machine Gun Kelly, this was the “ultimate disillusionment.” “It took me a while afterward because drugs obviously have a firm grip on you,” the singer continued.
He wants to “break the generational curse”
“As a father and as a man, to be the father I wanted my father to be, I have to break this generational curse for my child,” he said. He had Casie in July 2009 with his then partner Emma Cannon. This month, Machine Gun Kelly celebrated one year of his sobriety, as he announced in early August in “Dumb Blonde” podcast revealed. His on-off partner Meghan Fox (38) is not least responsible for this. The actress helped him “to cope with the psychological withdrawal symptoms that accompany drug withdrawal.”
In the clinic, he also learned “where the anger comes from.” The doctors gave him coping methods. He had not only taken alcohol, but also pills and marijuana. In an interview with “Interview” In 2020, he revealed that he was addicted to the drug Adderall, an amphetamine.
