Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) recently celebrated his 35th birthday with his 15-year-old daughter, Casie, sharing a special moment behind the DJ decks. The rapper, whose real name is Colson Baker, took to social media to showcase their close relationship, offering fans a glimpse into their personal lives and mutual love for music.
On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, MGK posted a video on Instagram featuring himself and Casie enjoying a lively DJ session during his birthday festivities. The video captures the duo dancing enthusiastically while experimenting with a DJ board.
MGK, dressed in a white T-shirt and a backwards white hat, bobs his head to the beat, while Casie, stylish in a black tube top and an oversized biker jacket, moves rhythmically beside him. The celebration, part of extended birthday events held at MGK’s home on April 23, followed his actual birthday on April 22.
In the post, MGK captioned the video,
“My daughter is a viiiiibe ,”
expressing his pride and joy in sharing this musical moment with Casie. Reports indicate they enjoyed Chris Brown’s remix of Leon Thomas’ track “MUTT,” highlighting their shared musical taste.
MGK shares Casie with his ex-partner Emma Cannon and has consistently prioritized their relationship despite his demanding career. Their bond is grounded in transparency, with MGK adopting an open parenting style. In a July 2024 podcast, he shared,
“I didn’t really conceal who I was to her,”
an approach that has fostered confidence in Casie, whom he describes as “a remarkably strong independent young woman.”
The rapper has marked other milestones with Casie, such as her 15th birthday in July 2024, when he posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram:
“The world spins but when I look at you it stops. Happy 15th princess.”
The post underscored their enduring connection, accompanied by photos spanning their years together—fixing his mohawk as a child, attending basketball games, and riding motorcycles.
Casie has significantly shaped MGK’s growth, particularly his journey toward sobriety. In August 2024, he recounted a pivotal moment when Casie, then 11 or 12, told him,
“Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high.”
Describing it as “the ultimate let down,” MGK said this conversation inspired him to break the “generational curse” and become “the father I wish my dad would have been.”
Beyond his bond with Casie, MGK’s family grew in March 2025 with the birth of a daughter with his ex-fiancée Megan Fox. Announcing the news on Instagram with a video of him holding his newborn’s hand, he wrote,
“She’s finally here!! our little celestial see.”
Though no longer romantically involved, MGK and Fox are effectively co-parenting. An insider noted, “Megan and MGK are really loving this time right now with their baby girl,” focusing on the present rather than their future as a couple.
The DJ session with Casie symbolizes more than a birthday celebration—it reflects MGK’s evolution as a father and artist. Balancing his public persona with parenting, he shares authentic moments like their 2022 video rapping to Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s “Crazy in Love,” captioned simply “Parenting.”
