The artist, whose real name is Colson Baker, slammed his former pal and \u201cacting like that\u201d collaborator, Yungblud, for how he allegedly handled a slew of canceled tour dates last year.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">It all started when Yungblud, aka Dom Harrison, criticized the state of live shows, noting that artists like <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/entertainment\/music\/a71195888\/post-malone-third-artist-cancel-tour-dates-two-weeks\/\" target=\"_self\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/entertainment\/music\/a71195888\/post-malone-third-artist-cancel-tour-dates-two-weeks\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Post Malone, Meghan Trainor, and Zayn Malik\" data-node-id=\"2.1\" class=\"body-link css-ohbdae emevuu60\">Post Malone, Meghan Trainor, and Zayn Malik<\/a>, among many others, have recently canceled shows amid unexpectedly low ticket sales.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cLive music has become inaccessible\u2014that is a fact\u2014and artists are canceling all the time based on lack of ticket sales because it is an issue. It\u2019s completely unaffordable for people,\u201d Dom said during an interview promoting his upcoming music festival, Bludfest, which he claims was founded with accessibility through affordability in mind.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cWhat really excites me is the artists and the people hold the power. That is why I started Bludfest,\u201d he continued. \u201cI genuinely believe that with my community we can make an impact and make a difference and be an example of something that is affordable, real, and all about community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">MGK then came in swinging with a since-deleted comment on the post, alleging Dom lied about the reason he canceled his U.S. tour dates.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Per several screenshots circulating online, he wrote, \u201cYou cancelled a tour because you couldn\u2019t sell tickets blamed it on mental health then got [paparazzi\u2019d] at Nobu the next day Pinocchio. And your actual tour tickets are still the same price as every other artist. Shut the fuck up your silver spooned preachy wanker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Fans were initially confused by MGK\u2019s comments since the pair previously collaborated on tracks like \u201cI Think I\u2019m OKAY\u201d in 2019 and \u201cacting like that\u201d in 2020. The artists even performed together at festivals like Vans Warped Tour over the years.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cWhy doesn&#8217;t he contact him privately? i assume he\u2019ll have his number. this is not the right way to handle things and is just childish and attention seeking. there is absolutely no reason to insult someone like that. grow tf up,\u201d one fan wrote in response to MGK\u2019s comment, while another said, \u201cMGK is just mad because Dom didn\u2019t ask him to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Others agreed with MGK\u2019s comment and claimed that, despite Yungblud\u2019s efforts to keep ticket costs low, some of his price ranges have previously ended up on the higher end.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"14\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Last year, Yungblud removed several dates from his tour due to his concerns with mental health and exhaustion. While the Grammy winner hasn\u2019t publicly addressed MGK\u2019s comments, his reps weighed in on the situation, telling <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2026\/05\/19\/yungbluds-team-fires-back-at-mgk-over-instagram-comment-about-tour-cancellation\/\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2026\/05\/19\/yungbluds-team-fires-back-at-mgk-over-instagram-comment-about-tour-cancellation\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"TMZ\" data-node-id=\"14.1\" class=\"body-link css-ohbdae emevuu60\">TMZ<\/a>, \u201cDom has not commented directly as he is so busy focusing on his sold-out North American tour and finishing his next album. He genuinely hasn\u2019t got time to engage in any of this but we wish MGK the very best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"15\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u2019Nuff said!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-pc3nh9 e94w1mj12\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 e68yk9k0\"\/><span class=\"css-0 e94w1mj11\">While You\u2019re Here:<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 e68yk9k1\"\/><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.cosmopolitan.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Points Machine Gun Kelly publicly criticized Yungblud for allegedly lying about canceling tour dates due to mental health issues.
