“Y’all need to stream ‘Lonely Road’ and make the money back,” MGK told fans with a laugh during Jelly’s recent opening set for Morgan Wallen.
What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in the bank account, Machine Gun Kelly learned.
The 34-year-old musician performed with Jelly Roll during the country singer’s opening set for Morgan Wallen at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Thursday, August 8, and revealed that he suffered a major gambling loss during his time in Sin City.
“I lost $50,000 playing blackjack tonight,” MGK told the crowd with a laugh, according to fan-shot footage, before jokingly asking for help: “Y’all need to stream ‘Lonely Road’ and make the money back.”

The rapper/rocker joined 39-year-old Jelly at the show and performed “Lonely Road,” the pair’s new collaboration, as well as a duet version of the CMA Award winner’s hit “Need a Favor.”
“I love you all. Thank you, Jelly, for letting me be a part of it,” said Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, on stage. “Peace out, cowboys and cowgirls.”
Jelly added, “Make some noise for one of my best friends, MGK. Thanks for coming baby. I love you Bubba. I love you so much Bubba.”
