Singer Machine Gun Kelly was performing at Louisville’s Louder Than Life festival on Saturday, Sept. 25, when a man shoved him after he jumped off the stage.

Machine Gun Kelly then attempted to confront the man as he continued singing, before lunging at him and appearing to punch him in the face. He was then restrained by security.
Earlier in the evening, the musician had been booed by the crowd, who questioned why the rapper was performing at the Louder Than Life festival, given that it is an event where metal bands usually perform.

Earlier this month, the “Papercuts” singer, whose real name is Colson Baker, made headlines after allegedly arguing with boxer Conor McGregor at the MTV Video Music Awards.
McGregor denied the rumors, stating, “Nothing has happened with me, I only fight real fighters, people who actually fight….
I certainly don’t fight little rappers. I don’t even know the guy.”
Machine Gun Kelly got into a fight with Slipknot again last week after taunting them on stage at Riot Fest.
However, he was put in his place by Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor, who denied Machine Gun Kelly’s claims that Taylor had worked on one of his songs, but had been “fucking terrible.”
“I don’t like people airing private matters like a child.
So here’s all I’ll say: I didn’t do the song because I don’t like people trying to ‘write’ for me. I told them no. This is all I’m going to say about it,” Taylor tweeted to her 666,000 followers.
She shared two screenshots of emails. One, apparently from Barker, where MGK notes that Taylor had been spectacular with his vocal contribution and that he was “excited” to have the Slipknot frontman on the track.
