Machine Gun Kelly Explains Why He Passed On ‘Sinners’ Movie
Machine Gun Kelly pulled up to the ‘Pat McAfee Show’ recently and spilled tea about almost joining the ‘Sinners’ cast. Roomies, y’all already know Ryan Coogler’s hit with Michael B. Jordan ran up the box office this year. MGK said he nearly played one of the vampires but turned it down real quick. Why? Because the script had the vampires using the n-word and he wasn’t rocking with that at all. “Yeah, but in the auditions he has to say n-word and I just wouldn’t do it,” Machine Gun Kelly explained.
