Machine Gun Kelly slammed a music critic for his review of his latest song, Your Name Forever.

After Jesea Lee shared a critique of his latest track, Your Name Forever, the rapper, whose full name is Colson Baker, claimed he was ‘pushing a random hate narrative’ about him.

On Tuesday, the 34-year-old musician made his return to rock as he released the song in collaboration with Avenged Sevenfold’s M. Shadows and Synyster Gates, Bring Me the Horizon’s Oli Sykes as well as Mod Sun.

The rock-rap track is dedicated to their late friend, snowboarder Luke ‘The Dingo’ Trembath — who pᴀssed away at the age of 38 on February 28.

In his review, Lee compared the sound of musician’s song to Linkin Park and explained that Baker made the song as a tribute to his late friend.

His review was not wholly negative, but he ended with one particular comment that did upset Baker — whose now-ex Megan Fox, 38, is due to welcome their baby soon.

‘There’s people that are gonna hate this just because it’s MGK,’ he concluded before asking rock fans to check out the song and share their thoughts.

Shortly after Lee made the post on Wednesday, Baker took to the comments section to share some thoughts of his own. 

‘This song is for one of my best friends who just pᴀssed away,’ he began in his comment.

‘Why would you insert a random comment about “You might hate this because it’s mgk” — don’t comment about something that our hearts are broken over if your [sic] going to bring that energy.’ 

He also asked the rock music critic to not speak negatively about him.

‘Quit pushing random hate narrative about me,’ he added. ‘I do nothing but show love and help progress the genre you report about.’ 

Baker also took to his Instagram Story to share a screensH๏τ of his comment on Lee’s post, writing that the critic was ‘cooked.’

The following day, Lee posted a follow-up video and said he has been receiving comments and DMs with threats ever since the musician posted on his Instagram Story.

He said he was just asking fans in the rock and metal world to give the musician a chance before they ‘automatically crap all over what he does no matter what.’ Baker has not yet responded to Lee’s comments in his follow-up video.

‘Now his millions of fans are coming for me,’ he said in a clip before adding that being ‘threatened’ is a ‘bit much.’ 

‘I felt like I was addressing a narrative that’s already there,’ he said about rock and metal fans who have ‘already formed an opinion about MGK.’ 

He clarified that he and fans in the comments section were not being ‘insensitive’ or ‘spreading negativity.’

He said he was just asking fans in the rock and metal world to give the musician a chance before they ‘automatically crap all over what he does no matter what.’

‘So I was saying, “Put that aside and check out the song,”‘ he added.

Then, addressing the rapper, he said: ‘MGK, I’m sorry you lost a friend and somebody you care about. That’s something I would never joke about.’
