Machine Gun Kelly has disclosed that, as a white rapper in a culture traditionally associated with Black artists, he has faced abuse primarily from white individuals, rather than from the Black community
The rapper expressed this viewpoint during his appearance on Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast on Tuesday, where he talked about his connection with Hip Hop fans as a white a rapper.
“I won’t deny that there is a subconscious stigma around that, being white in Hip Hop,” he said after co-host Mike Majlak brought up the criticism that white rappers face.
“To me, it’s so funny because the streets fuck with me so tough. It’s honestly from other white people that give me the most shit.”
MGK then gave former foe Eminem props for being the “only” white rapper to be fully accepted in Hip Hop:
“The crazy thing is, there’s only been one who’s done it. There’s only been one who’s done it and crossed that line of ‘we accept.'”
He added: “That’s the goal. And to me, I crossed that.”
