Among the most vocal figures in the nu world has been mgk, whose 2026 saw his embrace of nu metal on "fix ur face" with Fred Durst. Earlier this weekend, the artist also known as Machine Gun Kelly answered one of his fan's posts on X (formerly Twitter).
The fan asked the genre-hopping musician to never use AI in his music, to which Kelly replied:
Anyone ever brings that shit around me, they're fired
AI usage in music is currently a problem which is hard to ignore. Instead of writing music, writing lyrics, make proper recording, then mixing everything, people can make a song only with a simple prompt plugged into a program which scrapes info from numerous songs made by actual people.
We have our opinions on mgk here at this Agenda, but at least Mr. Kelly is on the right side of history here.
