Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) took a moment to address rumors of a feud with fellow musician Jelly Roll during the People’s Choice Country Awards. While the two have been pitted against each other in various discussions across social media, MGK made it clear that there’s no bad blood between them.
Speaking directly to the crowd and viewers, MGK shared, “Comparison is the thief of joy,” a phrase highlighting his feelings on the alleged feud. He elaborated by saying that artists are often compared to one another unnecessarily, which only serves to create competition where there should be none.
MGK, who has made headlines for his genre-blending music, took the opportunity to praise Jelly Roll’s work, calling him a talented musician with a unique voice in the industry. “We’re all here to create, and the more we support each other, the better it is for music as a whole,” MGK said. His comments were met with applause, with fans appreciating his stance on unity within the music community.
Meanwhile, Jelly Roll has also publicly dismissed any rumors of tension between them, stating in past interviews that he respects MGK’s work and the path he’s carving out for himself.
The interaction between the two artists has sparked a broader conversation about the unnecessary comparisons that often arise in the entertainment industry, especially as artists branch out into different genres. Both MGK and Jelly Roll continue to rise in their respective fields, proving that success doesn’t need to come at the expense of others.
