Machine Gun Kelly's life will now be retold in his upcoming documentary from Hulu. The rapper, considered the "most polarizing rockstar" of this generation, is stripped down to his true emotions in the new film.
The documentary titled "Life in Pink" came months after the rapper-turned-rockstar released his sixth studio album, "mainstream sellout."
Machine Gun Kelly Documentary 'Life In Pink'
In the upcoming documentary, Hulu will be telling the origins of Colson Baker, more popularly known as Machine Gun Kelly, and how his life has been since he was playing music in his friend's basement to selling out stadiums sized-arenas.
Aside from this, Kelly returns to his hometown in Cleveland, Ohio, to recount his beginnings as a young rapper and his trek up to success.
At one point in the newly-released trailer, it featured the infamous moment between Machine Gun Kelly and UFC star Conor McGregor at the 2021 MTV VMAs. The two got into a scuffle after the latter threw a cocktail in Kelly's direction.
"It feels like the whole world hates me," Machine Gun Kelly opened up in the trailer. Montages of Kelly while in concert as audiences throwing him a tree branch and beverages were also shown in some clips.
The documentary, which will be released this Summer of 2022 via Hulu, promises to lift the lid on the star's rise from the Cleveland streets to become one of the most-talked-about musicians of the decade. (via Louder Sound)
Kelly's paternal instincts were also featured in the trailer, as he recounts stories where he faced a gunman while her daughter was in the car and even flew miles away just to see her daughter's volleyball game despite coming from a late-night concert.
"People say that stuff about my dad, but they only see one side," Casie Baker, MGK's daughter, said.
MGK's good friend and frequent collaborator, Travis Barker, also appeared in the trailer, attesting to how they work together as a team in producing music.
"We make such an incredible piece of work. For me its like working on a blink album. I loved it like its my own," Barker said, possibly pertaining to Kelly's recent album, "mainstream sellout."
"mainstream sellout" is the second collaborative project that Travis and Kelly worked on, the first being "Tickets To My Downfall."
On its opening week, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Alternative Albums chart.
