Machine Gun Kelly Raps About Megan Fox’s Miscarriage
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox attend the 2022 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 15, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Machine Gun Kelly has turned a painful part of his life into a song. The 33-year-old musician dropped a new song called “Don’t Let Me Go” on Wednesday (February 21). The song’s lyrics are raw and vulnerable, as the intro starts with a piano before MGK raps, “Lately my thoughts eating me alive. Laying in the bed thinking maybe that hate will finally go away if I’m not alive,” as he presses a finger gun to his head in the video. The 33-year-old rapper-turned-rocker returned to his roots in the new track. He also references his new all-blacked-out upper body tattoo that he shared on social media the day prior. His next lines explain he “had a breakdown and tatted my entire body except one line.”
Later in the song, MGK raps about the miscarriage he and Megan Fox experienced in 2021. “How do I live with the fact that my hand wasn’t on her stomach when we lost the baby? I don’t got no one to turn to ’cause everyone’s dead in my life that was tryin’ to raise me,” he raps. Fox previously opened up about her miscarriage in her book of poetry, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, and in her subsequent press tour for the book’s release last fall. “There is an ultrasound by your side of the bed, 10 weeks and 1 day … do you think that if she could have, she would have left a suicide note?” Fox wrote in the book. The book’s final page included an illustration of a woman holding a baby. “But now I have to say goodbye. I close my eyes and imagine holding you tight against my chest as they rip you from my insides,” Fox wrote.
In November 2023, Fox opened up about the loss on Good Morning America. Having three kids with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, Fox told the show she had “never been through anything like that before in my life.” Explaining how it was difficult for her and MGK, the two went on “a very wild journey together and separately, and together and apart, and together and apart, and together and apart, trying to navigate, ‘What does this mean and why did this happen?'”
MGK previously shared a story behind the heartbeat in his song “Twin Flame,” revealing that he had initially been working on something titled “One Day and 10 Weeks.” “Then I made a song called ‘Last November.’ Neither expressed the sadness we experienced from what I will leave private,” he wrote in a Mainstream Sellout zine. “And I circled back to [‘Twin Flame’] and decided to add on to the story. Our story.”

17 Celebrities That Constantly Get Mistaken For Each Other
There are over seven billion people alive on this Earth. So the possibility of a doppelgänger walking around looking exactly like you is highly probable. A doppelgänger is defined as a biologically unrelated look-alike, or a double, of a living person. In fiction and mythology, a doppelgänger is usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck or seen as an evil twin. Research has found that people who are “true” look-alikes have more similar genes than people who don’t feature a resemblance to one another.
Doppelgängers In Media
Doppelgängers have made their way into modern literature, films, and television. Some of our favorite examples include the series finale of Twin Peaks. In the chilling scene, Special Agent Dale Cooper encounters a variety of doppelgängers in the Black Lodge, one of whom is a malevolent version of himself. His doppelganger switches places with him at the conclusion of the 1991 finale, trapping the original in the Black Lodge. In the show’s sequel, Twin Peaks: The Return, three different doppelgängers are dispatched from the Black Lodge.
Christopher Nolan’s 2006 psychological thriller, The Prestige, based on the 1995 novel of the same name by Christopher Priest, revolves around rival stage magicians in Victorian London. They feud over a perfect teleportation trick in which the performer appears to transport across the stage instantaneously. It is revealed that one of the illusionists has actually been using a doppelgänger to perform the trick — his twin brother.
Another great use of doppelgängers appears in Stephen King’s book, which was also made into a fantastic HBO series that was canceled way too soon: The Outsider. In it, the antagonist can use the DNA of individuals to become their near-perfect match through a science-fictional ability to transform physically. The allusion to it being a doppelgänger is made by the group trying to stop it from killing again.
Take these 17 celebrity pairs, for example: in Hollywood alone, there are plenty of celebrity lookalikes. You wouldn’t believe they don’t share the same genes. See what the stars have in common besides their physical traits as well as how they handle the comparisons below:
