Machine Gun Kelly performed his single “My Ex’s Best Friend” during his Saturday Night Live debut on Saturday (Jan. 30), a song that originally features rapper Blackbear.
Ahead of the show MGK tweeted a screenshot of a text message with Blackbear asking him if he is okay with him singing his verse of the song, which the rapper replied “of course brother, no doubt,” before congratulating him on all his ongoing success.
The singer went on to sing the popular tune himself alongside his full band, donning a pink, white and black plaid shirt, yellow and black nails and white Doc Martins. MGK shredded on his hot pink Tickets To My Downfall guitar.
