Machine Gun Kelly reveals heartbreaking words his daughter said that pushed him to get sober

These really are words you never want to hear from your child

Musician Machine Gun Kelly has been candid about his battle with drugs but the words his daughter said to him would likely make anyone want to turn their life around.

Machine Gun Kelly, real name Colson Baker, has adoring fans all over the world so you would be forgiven for thinking he’s got his whole life together.

But the artist has been open with his battle with addiction, most notably the drug Adderall.

Kelly has explained in interviews how much he relied on the drug to make music and the negative impact it was having on him and his life.

Speaking with Dave Franco for an interview back in 2020, he said: “I think I watched myself believe that drugs were how you attained a level, or unlocked something in your brain, and I’ve seen the pros and cons of it.

“Adderall was a huge thing for me for a long time. And I went from orally taking it to then snorting it, and then it became something where I was scared to ever go into a studio if I didn’t have something.

“I wouldn’t even step out unless there was a medicine man who was going to visit me and give me what I needed. And that’s where it becomes a problem.”

So, it was clearly a massive mountain for the artist to overcome. In a new interview, the artist has highlighted how his daughter was the ultimate key to him getting sober.

Kelly has a 15-year-old daughter, Casie, with ex Emma Cannon.

Appearing on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast on August 18 he said that Casie was around 11 or 12 when she told him she was aware of his drug taking.

“It started with my daughter saying, ‘Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high’.

“It broke my heart. It was the ultimate let down.”

He continued: “It took me a while afterward’ to make the life changes necessary to adapt to a sober lifestyle, because obviously drugs have a vice grip on you.”

The musician tied his determination to get sober to his goal to be a better father.

He added that his daughter confronting him was his step one and said he wanted to be the father his dad never was to ultimately ‘break this generational curse for [his] kid’.
