@mgkmagic: Call mgk Mr. Machine or Lord Colson Baker. 📝: On May 4, 2026, mgk appeared on the Garza Podcast, where he spoke about what people should call him. mgk said that Young Thug started calling him “Machine.” “Yeah, a lot of people call me Machine. Young Thug started calling me Machine in like 2017, 2018, and we all kind of were like, ‘Ah yeah, it’s fire.’ There’s no wrong answer. My real name is Colson,” mgk said. During an older interview, Pete Davidson said, “My grandpa calls mgk Mushuguna Kelly.” Back in 2022, mgk humorously introduced himself as: “Lord Colson Baker, third of my name. True descendant of Norwegian Viking 🩸. Protector of the realm of Cleveland. The Blonde Don. Mr. Pink. Rap Jones Jr., Latex Larry.” In the behind-the-scenes “unhinged version” video for “vampire diaries,” mgk joked, “mgk. mgka [Um-Gee-Kah]. That’s how we say it in the vampire community.” Meanwhile, during an old Instagram Live, mgk said he disliked being called “Kelly.” “My name is not Kelly. Just don’t call me Kelly. Call me Gunner, whatever you want — not Kelly. It is the dumbest...” he said. In an interview with Sydney Sweeney for BuzzFeed, mgk also clarified that he does not have a middle name. “I don’t have a middle name. Everyone always messes up thinking because Wikipedia put my uncle’s first name as my first name,” he explained. At the GQ Men of the Year in 2023, mgk also politely corrected photographers on how to refer to him, asking them to call him “Machine” instead of “Machine 🔫.” mgk said, “Can you just hit me with the Machine from now on?” mgk is effortlessly funny and hilarious. #mgk #machinegunkelly #colsonbaker @mgk
