Machine Gun Kelly was named Alternative Artist Of The Year ahead of the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
On Tuesday, March 22, the “Mainstream Sellout” singer virtually took home the iHeartRadio Music Award.
iHeartRadio shared a clip of Machine Gun Kelly, wearing white Calvin Klein boxer briefs and a blue fur coat, accepting the honor.
“Ahhhhh! Yes, yes, iHeartRadio Music Awards, this award, that is not here but is imaginary in spirit is… means so much to me. The Best Alternative Artist, it means the most to me just cause the fans road with me through this really rocky, turbulent time. You know what I’m saying. Album coming out March 25, Mainstream Sellout, that is my gift to you guys to show that we can do this not once but twice. I don’t even have pants on, I have no pants on but I’m going to tell everybody what I just won, that we won.”
The pink haired Cleveland native then ran away from the camera pantless screaming, “Hey! We won!”
