Machine Gun Kelly refuses to let online hate cloud on his new single.

In a video uploaded to his Instagram account, MGK responded directly to an X user who posted several negative comments about his new single, “Cliché.”

“‘What is this garbage?’” MGK quoted before mocking a second tweet, “‘The poster is even gheyer,’” before pointing out the troll’s misspelling.

Another tweet from the troll read, “They’re turning the kids gay,” along with a video of several children innocently watching the music video of the track—while once again misspelling “gay” as “ghey.”

“Just tell me you’re insecure. Tell me you found your girlfriend watching this music video without telling me,” MGK shot back. “What is this? It’s a pop song, man.”

The roast didn’t stop there. MGK and his drummer Rook pulled up Google Images to guess what “Gage” might look like, with the singer pulling up a stock photo of a balding, angry man.

“Gage, this you?” he said with a laugh.

Rook followed up with a photo of Wayne D from South Park and a clip of the character saying, “This shit whack, man.”

“You’re mad. That song is catchy,” MGK said at the end of the clip.
