Machine Gun Kelly, 35, recently marked his birthday with a special celebration alongside his 15-year-old daughter, Casie Colson Baker. The musician, whose real name is Colson Baker, shared a glimpse into their father-daughter bond.
In a video posted to Instagram on April 30, MGK and Casie were seen dancing together behind a turntable, enjoying Chris Brown’s remix of Leon Thomas’ song “MUTT.” The rapper captioned the sweet moment, "my daughter is a viiiiibe.”
This public sharing contrasts with the privacy MGK and his ex-fiancée, Megan Fox, have maintained regarding their youngest child, who was welcomed in March 2025. MGK shares Casie with his ex, Emma Cannon.
Openness and Honesty in Parenting
Speaking on a July 2024 episode of the Bad Friends podcast, MGK elaborated on his approach to parenting Casie. "I didn’t really hide who I was to her," he explained. He expressed pride in her independence and self-assuredness, noting, "She’s very comfortable in her own skin and a very strong independent woman."
MGK attributed his openness partly to the realization that Casie could easily find information about his past online. "She has the internet, too, and she started seeing me in ways that I'm like, ‘Oh, I'm not proud of that as a father,’” he admitted. He revealed a turning point came when Casie expressed disappointment in him.
"It didn't hit until she was able to kind of admit that she was disappointed in me," MGK shared, describing Casie as his best friend and the person he most wants to impress. "I wasn't proud of a lot of the ways I was representing myself.”
He acknowledged his past mistakes and his ongoing effort to grow. "It's also my job as one of the leading voices of a generation who also can relate to being misjudged by things they did when they were younger," he stated. "As I grow up, I'll continue to try and take my job as a f--k up who is no longer that.” This journey comes amidst significant life changes, including his split from Megan Fox and becoming a father again, adding another layer to his reflections on personal growth and representation (similar to other celebrities navigating parenthood).
