Love him. He's so real, but also innately funny. Have never been bored watching an interview with him.

I used to think that he was pretentious back in the day but i have to admit that i judged him too quickly and I'm sorry for that. Now i see that he is a really nice guy and he also seems to have social anxiety which is what i have so i know how that's like.

For all the people saying he switched genres because of eminem. Even if he did so, he seems more natural and happier than ever before. He does what makes him happy, he doesn’t listen to other people and haters. A rapper would not wear an outfit like this, but a real artist does.

I could listen to Kells talk for hours. He is intelligent, funny and super creative in so many different areas. This man does it all and can’t be put into a box. EST for life! 🖤❌❌

[lauriemyles]

Followed MGK’s career for years. Love how he is doing different things musically & continued being a great father. This is what growth looks like & I’m enjoying it! 💯

[laurenhardman]

I love that he’s awkward AF. James keeps getting in his space and MGK keeps trying to re create that space 😂 Such an awkward dance

[jnnibabi]

WE NEED A CARPOOL KARAOKE WITH MACHINE GUN KELLY FOR

[laurensears]

I love how he gives genuine answers that he really thinks about instead of some celebs who seem to have interview answers memorized like weird robots 🤖

[emilysullivan]

I’m loving all the positive vibes surrounding him here

[taymarieeeeee]

I saw Colson in concert in September and he was absolutely PHENOMENAL. Amazing musician, incredible man. So good to his fans and such a badass performer

[InfinitXX]

So much positivity in this video I keep smiling

[justlikeolivia]

i just cant get over how good his looks

[djswany]

His music isn't for me, but I can't deny he seems like a good guy and wish him the best.
Maybe if his songs had more saxophone.

[stephencraig]

He has the most important cheekbones in pop right now.

[UnbotheredBitchh]

I love him . I've met him. Been a fan since 2011. Attended every concert of his from Illinois to Wisconsin since then. Every time I see him is amazing and never like the other. He's a sweet and rare soul who's too great for people to even accept

[ec-po]

Now I’m gonna be driving by his coffee shop after hours every time I know he’s in town

[xoxopaigexoxo]

He looks so healthy and it makes me really happy

[lealea]

What a cutie. Very nice listening to him and watching him.

[amulettaffy]

Such a nice interview! And MGK’s outfit is fire 🔥 It complements his tattoos so well

[novaquinn]

Wow I never really heard him talk. He seems really down to earth.
