Machine Gun Kelly Explains Why White Rappers Get Stigmatized

by HHL JT

Machine Gun Kelly isn't really a rapper anymore.

And, if you go by his new body-covering tattoo, he isn't really white anymore.

However, he still has opinions on the challenge of being a white rapper, which he expressed during a chat with Logan Paul.

Machine Gun Kelly admits there is a subconscious stigma to being white in hip-hop and says other white people give him the most shit.

“I won’t deny that there is a subconscious stigma around that, being white in Hip Hop,” he explained. “To me, it’s so funny because the streets fuck with me so tough. It’s honestly from other white people that give me the most sh*t.”

MGK went on to say that he admires Eminem, who he's beefed with in the past, for overcoming that and gaining full acceptance in the rap game.

The crazy thing is, there’s only been one who’s done it. There’s only been one who’s done it and crossed that line of ‘we accept,"he said.  "That’s the goal. And to me, I crossed that.”

Did he?
