Machine Gun Kelly is facing backlash for a resurfaced interview in which he discussed his crush on Kendall Jenner and said he was 'not waiting' until she was 18.
The rapper, who is now engaged to Megan Fox, made the disturbing comments during an interview with Fuse in 2013, when MGK was 23 and Jenner was just 17.
During the chat, the host asked Kelly who his first celebrity crush was, to which he replied, 'I don't care who my first celebrity crush was because right now it's Kendall Jenner.'

Kelly went on to tell Fuse that he'd spoken about the crush 'so many motherf*cking times', adding, 'I hope that I'm snagging that. Don't let me move to LA. Oof, I'm finding her.'
Jenner, who is now 26 years old, is the daughter of Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner, and rose to fame as she appeared alongside her family in Keeping Up with the Kardashians. At the time of the interview, she was under the legal age of consent, which is 18 in Los Angeles.

That didn't appear to deter Kelly, though, as he dismissed the notion that he was 'counting down the days' until her birthday and said, 'I’m not waiting until she’s 18, I’ll go now.'
He continued, 'I’m 23, dog, I’m not like a creepy age, y’know what I’m saying? I’m 23, she’s 17, and she’s a celebrity. There’s no limits right there.'
As if to justify his comments, Kelly then went on to list a number of other famous people who have been known to date people who were underage, including 'one of the greatest lead singers ever', Robert Plant, who Kelly claimed 'dated a girl who was 14'.
Another apparent role model in Kelly's life was Axl Rose, who he described as 'one of the biggest badasses ever' before claiming that he 'dated a girl who was 16 and wrote a song on his first album about the girl that was 16'.

Rounding off the shocking segment, he said, 'I don’t care, say what you want, man, if Kendall Jenner is in your bedroom naked and you’re 50, you’re going.'
Social media users have slammed Kelly after coming across the clip in recent days, with viewers describing it as 'repulsive' and expressing their shock over the fact he '[pulled] up his grooming idols'.
Kelly has previously come under fire for making inappropriate comments about Eminem's then-16-year-old daughter Hailie Jade, who he described as 'hot as f*ck' in a since-deleted tweet.
