If Machine Gun Kelly recently revealed that he has been sober for over a year, he also stopped using drugs a few years ago. And it is largely thanks to his daughter, Casie, 15 years old, that the rocker was able to overcome his addiction. The child, whom he had with his ex, Emma Cannon, was about 11 or 12 years old when she made it clear to her dad that she knew he was using drugs. Colson Baker, his real name, then had a revelation. “It all started when my daughter told me, ‘Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high.’ That broke my heart. I was so disappointed in myself,” the 34-year-old American confessed in the podcast Million Dollaz Worth of Game.
However, despite this realization, “it took some time” for MGK to adjust to a sober lifestyle. “Because it’s obvious that drugs have a real hold on you,” he lamented. But Casie’s remark, who has tattooed her father, was “the first step” in a liberating journey that would allow him to become an exemplary father. Megan Fox’s boyfriend even posted a heartfelt message on Instagram on July 24, 2024, for the teen’s 15th birthday: “The world keeps spinning but when I look at you, it stops.”
