MGK Refused Role in 'Sinners' Over Script

News summary

Machine Gun Kelly revealed on The Pat McAfee Show that he declined to audition for the character Bert, a former KKK member turned vampire, in Ryan Coogler’s blockbuster film 'Sinners' because the script required him to say the N-word, which he found morally unacceptable. His decision was met with respect from the hosts and has been widely praised by fans and peers, prompting renewed discussions about racial sensitivity in Hollywood. The film has achieved significant box office success, though MGK missed the opportunity. He remains optimistic about future acting roles and reiterated his intent to build his cinematic career. MGK has previously acted in films such as 'Bird Box' and 'The Dirt.' Additionally, he announced his new album 'Lost Americana' is set for release soon.
