Machine Gun Kelly said he made the decision to quit drugs after his daughter Casie confronted him about his substance abuse.

The 34-year-old musician and actor, whose real name is Colson Baker, has 15-year-old Casie with his ex Emma Cannon.

MGK, who appeared on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast on Sunday, said Casie was about 11 or 12 when she told him she knew he was using drugs.

“It started with my daughter saying, ‘Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high’ – that broke my heart,” said the Lonely Road artist. “It was the ultimate disappointment.”

MGK said that from the time Casie spoke to him about his drug use, it took him “a while” to make the necessary changes in his life and adjust to a sober lifestyle, “because drugs obviously have a strong hold on you.”

The Rap Devil artist said of the confrontation with Casie: “That was the first step for me.”

He added: “As a father and as a man, I have to break this generational curse for my child to be the father that I would have wanted my father to be.”

MGK, who is dating actress Megan Fox (38), posted his daughter’s 15th birthday on Instagram on July 24 and showed a photo from her birthday party and other celebrations from the past years.

“The world keeps spinning but when I look at you it stops,” MGK said in the post’s caption.

MGK spoke to Bunnie XO on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast earlier this month about celebrating one year of sobriety.

The musician said in the August 5 podcast that he was “completely sober” after a stay in rehab.

The “Bad Things” actor also said that he has given up alcohol consumption: “I don’t drink anymore – I haven’t had anything since last August.”

MGK said he decided to go to rehab after completing his European tour last year and told “nobody outside” his inner circle.

The Lonely Road artist said: “It started with my daughter saying, ‘Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high’ – that broke my heart.”

MGK said that from the time Casie talked to him about his drug use, it “took a while” for him to make the necessary changes in his life to adjust to a sober lifestyle.

The outspoken entertainer said: “Obviously drugs have a firm grip on you”

The “Bad Things” actor posted a post on Instagram on July 24th for his daughter’s 15th birthday with a photo from her birthday party.

He added: “This was my first withdrawal. They showed me so many ways to deal with the body, showed me where this anger comes from and how to suppress it.”

The entertainer described in detail his interactions with psychologists: “I have met many psychiatrists, some have given up on me, and many therapists have done the same.”

“But I finally became aware of my situation and came to terms with it. It’s a constant balancing act.”

During his performance, the musician stated that he had abused alcohol, marijuana and pills, among other things.
