Machine Gun Kelly punches fan in face at Roch Werchter festival mid-concert

Rapper Machine Gun Kelly stunned a crowd after he punched a fan in the face during his performance at Roch Werchter festival in Belgium.

During his set, the singer - whose real name is Colson Baker - saw an audience member in the crowd holding up a sign that read "I just came from Mexico 4 U 2 punch me in the face."

After seeing the sign for the first time, the musician was hesitant to carry out the odd request, responding on stage saying: "Why do you want me to punch you in the face so bad? I got rings on dude. That s*** is gonna hurt. I don't know it's a lose-lose for me. I don't know if I'm gonna do it, I'll consider it."

But mid-performance in the July 1 gig he decided he would take him up on the offer. While getting off stage to sing closer to the crowd during the song "my ex's best friend" the singer held up the sign with the fan and carried out the strange request, giving the fan a quick punch across the face. MGK then returned around and said to the fan: "I love you."

Kelly later posted the clip to his own personal Instagram account, sharing the wild moment with his 9.2 million followers to see with the caption "making dreams come true" and a thumbs up emoji.

The video has already received over 295,000 likes and over 2,600 comments, including a comment from the infamous fan himself, Marcos Cid de la Paz. The fan wrote: "Thank you very much for making my dream come true. I do not lie when I tell you that I love you and that I can feel deep in my heart the lyrics of your songs. I waited so long to see you, and I still cannot believe this happened."

The fan continues to say that the request was "not a kink or something like that" as others in the comments suggested and he hopes that the request wasn't "too scary" for Kelly. Marcos pushes all fears aside of a lawsuit saying that the singer "made his day" by noticing him in the crowd and appreciated how "caring" the rapper was about everything. The fan also adds that he wishes Kelly would add more show dates in Mexico.

Marcos ended his supportive comment on the video by saying: "Thank you Colson for shining a light for us who live in the darkness, even when you are feeling down. And thank you all guys for being part of this amazing band. You guys live in my heart rent free. EST for life."

Megan Fox's former fiancée is currently on tour in Europe, with upcoming shows in Spain, Portugal, and Sweden with concerts planned until the end of November. The singer-songwriter has released six studio albums during his music career, his most recent of which "Tickets To My Downfall" that came out in 2020.
