Fans are convinced that MGK’s new single ‘Fix Ur Face’ includes a sly diss at both Yungblud and The Osbournes.

This week, the artist formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly released his first new music since his 2025 album ‘Lost Americana’ in the form of the nu-metal throwback ‘Fix Ur Face’, featuring Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst.

Just hours after the track was released, however, fans began to speculate that the song might contain a barbed shot at MGK’s one-time friend and collaborator Yungblud – a suggestion that MGK only helped encourage when he posted on X: “I see one particular line is going over your heads”.

The line in question appears to be: “Mickey Mouse kids turned rockstars / Leaving private schools, tryna be outlaws”.

Yungblud attended the private day and boarding school Ackworth School in Yorkshire and later enrolled at the independent Arts Educational School in London, and he later appeared on the Disney show The Lodge, for which he even recorded the song ‘Tell It Like It Is’.

That isn’t all though – fans have also identified another possible attack in the following lyric. “And all the oldheads tryna kill the vibe / But rock’s not dead as long as I’m alive,” MGK sings, and many have taken that to be a shot at the Osbournes, with whom Yungblud is close.

This could stem from a 2024 episode of The Osbournes podcast, which featured Yungblud as a guest. Kelly Osbourne made an offhand comment about MGK co-opting Yungblud’s use of pink and she and mother Sharon signalled that they were no fans of MGK. While Yungblud appeared somewhat uneasy at the comments, fans have pointed out that he also did not defend him at the time.

Check out some fan reactions to the apparent beef here:

MGK and Yungblud’s relationship dates back to 2019 when the latter appeared on ‘I Think I’m Okay’, a track from MGK’s album ‘Hotel Diablo’ that year. In 2020, MGK returned the favour, appearing on Yungblud’s ‘Acting Like That’.

They performed ‘I Think I’m Okay’ at Reading 2019, and NME sat them down together backstage to talk about their friendship. Watch the video from that day above, in which they talk about their first time working together, singing Oasis’ ‘Supersonic’ at karaoke and how Yungblud broke his hand on a night out together.

In 2020, MGK spoke to NME again, and said he reached out to Yungblud because “I was a fan of everything he does, including his attitude and his way of dressing. His raw voice is so good, and he has an immense love for rock ’n’ roll. Those energies gravitate towards each other.”

Describing their friendship as “free-spirited”, he continued: “It feels like a dope, across-the-pond thing, like: ‘You hold it down over there and I’ll hold it down over here.’ Together we can make some sort of union of rock stars. We’re like Elton John and Jimi Hendrix back in the day.”

MGK’s world tour resumes on May 15 in Wheatland, California and runs until July 1 in Ridgefield, Washington – find any remaining tickets here. He will also be playing at Summer Sonic in Tokyo in August and Rock in Rio in September.
