Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) credits a heartfelt conversation with his 15-year-old daughter, Casie, as the catalyst for his sobriety journey. During an appearance on the 'Million Dollaz Worth of Game' podcast, he revealed that Casie's comment, 'Dad, you know I can tell when you're high,' deeply affected him and made him recognize the disappointment he had caused. Since then, MGK has been sober for nearly a year, having committed to a drug-free life after a stint in rehab following his European tour in 2023. He emphasized the importance of breaking the generational curse of substance abuse for his daughter, stating, 'That was step one for me.' MGK has abstained from alcohol and drugs since last August and has been actively working on his mental health and recovery. His journey reflects a significant transformation, motivated by his desire to be the father he wished he had during his own challenging childhood.
