Machine Gun Kelly questioned whether the moon landing was real during his acceptance speech at the 2022 American Music Awards on Sunday night.
The “Maybe” singer, who won “Favorite Rock Artist” at the American Music Awards on Sunday night, slyly debunked the long-running conspiracy theory that the surrender of man on the moon was a hoax while defending himself against rock . music critics.
“There have been some people in the rock community who have called me a tourist, but they are wrong,” he said. “I am a rocket man. We weren’t born on the moon but we looked at it and we were curious and then we went there … supposedly … and these two rock albums were me going to the moon.”
The rapper, 32, was wearing a purple Dolce & Gabbana suit covered in spikes, which he also described in the speech as “no fun to pee on.”
The “Emo Girl” singer accessorized the suit with a necklace and earrings and studded boots.
The 6-foot-4 actress also joked about asking for the microphone stand to be raised as she previously had to bend over to speak before raising it.
His appearance was less controversial as his speech had a bleep at the end.
An insider told Page Six that Kelly said, “We’re going to Mars, mommy!” before leaving the stage in contempt.
MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, walked the red carpet without his fiancée Megan Fox. The couple was seen last week at the GQ Man of the Year event with friends, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker.
MGK won the same award at the 2021 AMAs.
