MGK is no stranger to bringing fans on stage during his performances, but a recent viral moment has sparked major debate online, and not in a good way. A video circulating on X shows the rocker, whose real name is Colson Baker, interacting with a group of female fans during a live performance of “Bloody Valentine” on his international tour. While the segment is meant to be playful and interactive, viewers quickly noticed one fan’s behavior that many described as crossing boundaries. Social media users are now calling out the moment as uncomfortable and inappropriate, with some accusing the fan of invading MGK’s personal space.

During the performance, MGK recreated a familiar visual from his 2020 “Bloody Valentine” music video, singing while tied up, before inviting several fans onstage to sing and dance with him. However, one fan appeared to repeatedly touch the singer’s chest and abs, prompting immediate backlash online.

Users were quick to defend the musician, with reactions including, “Poor Colson, this isn‘t okay, btw, celebrities aren‘t your close friends.”

Another said, “The way she treated him like a f-cking petting zoo, I'm sick," while someone else asked, “What makes you think you have the right to touch someone like that? Sometimes I don't understand people.”

Many viewers argued that regardless of the setting, physical boundaries should still be respected.

Body Language Says It All As He Tries To Distance Himself From Fan

A second video circulating online seemed to show MGK shifting his attention away from the same fan later in the performance, instead interacting with other audience members on stage. Some viewers interpreted the body language as intentional but completely "inappropriate."

“Home girl was following him around the stage, trying to be noticed and get an interaction. Notice he went to the girls who didn't try as hard,” one user wrote.

“There was also a moment where he held the hand of another girl, and that was so cute, and she kept interrupting the moment, trying to get his attention from behind, touching his shoulders, and almost hanging onto him, like... TAKE THE HINT, GIRL," another emphasized.

Others speculated the fan may have been intoxicated. “What in the world?? She must have been wasted cuz...how do you explain respecting personal space?” someone asked as another felt the “The second hand embarrassment."

MGK's ‘Bloody Valentine’ Performance References Iconic Megan Fox Music Video

The concert segment itself is inspired by MGK’s 2020 “Bloody Valentine” music video, which famously starred Megan Fox as his love interest. The video depicts a chaotic, stylized relationship, with MGK spending much of the storyline restrained while Fox dances around him, duct tapes his mouth, and ultimately drops a hair dryer into a bathtub where he lies helpless.

The project became a defining moment for the couple publicly, as it fueled early romance rumors shortly after Fox’s split from then-husband Brian Austin Green.

MGK and Fox went on to confirm their relationship and later announced their engagement in 2022 with emotional social media posts documenting the proposal beneath a banyan tree they had first visited together.

Fox wrote at the time, “Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him. And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes…and then we drank each other's blood.”

Their relationship later faced turbulence, including a cryptic 2023 Instagram post from Fox quoting Beyoncé lyrics, “You can taste the dishonesty / it's all over your breath," before she deleted her account.

The pair eventually reconciled and later endured a miscarriage together, which Fox described as deeply painful. Reports of another split surfaced in 2024.

In early 2025, MGK announced the arrival of their daughter, sharing that he had “composed the score of the birth.” “What an epic journey. Praise God,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories.

While the two are currently co-parenting their daughter, sources have claimed there is no romantic relationship between them.
