Machine Gun Kelly is responding to some criticism after he was accused of strolling away throughout an interview with Formulation 1 commentator and former driver Martin Brundle.
Within the viral interview captured on the Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo on Sunday, the musician (actual identify Colson Baker) had a seemingly weird interplay with Brundle throughout his grid section.
Throughout the pre-race interview, Baker appeared unable to listen to Brundle, and seemingly refused to reply a query about his profession.
“What are you saying? I don’t take into consideration my profession, I don’t give it some thought,” Baker mentioned, to which Brundle replied: “Effectively good luck with it, no matter you do.”
After making an attempt to proceed the interview for a number of extra beats, Baker then gave the digicam a thumbs down and walked away.
Formulation 1 followers and Brundle viewers alike have been fast to criticize the rapper on-line. The “bloody valentine” singer took to X (previously Twitter) to answer to a crucial F1 fan, who mentioned he had a foul “vibe.”
“[My] vibe is ‘the worst’ how?” Baker requested within the put up. “[Because] somebody put a microphone in my face basically forcing me to do a random interview when [I] was simply attempting to take pleasure in an occasion? As a result of automobile engines have been so loud I could not hear him? Please inform me extra about why I am the worst.”
In one other tweet, Baker replied to a critic who had shared a clip from the interview, asking them, “And u posted this pointless video why?”
Baker seemingly cited “anxiety” as the reason for the off-color interview, writing in a third post: “My anxiety has won. [I] hate being in public.”
Brundle, who appears on the U.K.’s Sky Sports network, is known for his celebrity interviews before each F1 race. He previously has had what fans deemed awkward — or hilarious — run-ins with DJ KhaledPharrell and Cara Delevingne.
There are two races left within the 2023 season for Formulation 1. Drivers will head to the US subsequent week on Nov. 18 for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the town’s debut race.
