MGK and Yungblud's feud explained: From friends and collaborators to foes

MGK’s recent outbursts against Yungblud have left fans confused as to what happened to their well-known, years-long friendship.

Though the feud appeared to have come out of nowhere, several online sleuths have theorised that the fallout traces back to 2024, when Yungblud — born Dominic Harrison — and MGK — Born Colson Baker.

Appearing on the Garza podcast in early May, MGK addressed the speculation around his and Yungblud’s falling out.

“You know, loyalty is really the only thing that matters,” he said. “And when someone’s given an opportunity to defend their friend and they don’t, that breaks my heart. Like it shatters me. So I think be my friend the same way in public that you are in private. That sh*t hurt me,” he admitted.

May 19: MGK calls out Yungblud under his own Instagram post

The feud came to a head when MGK took to the comments section of Yungblud’s latest Instagram post to call him out. In the post, Yungblud talks about how live music has become inaccessible as fans can’t afford tickets, leading artists to cancel their tours.

But MGK wasn’t going to let Yungblud forget that he cancelled his own tour in 2025.

“You cancelled a tour because you couldn’t sell tickets blamed it on mental health then got parazzi’d at Nobu the next day Pinocchio,” MGK wrote, “and your actual tour tickets are still the same price as every other artist… shut the f**k up you silver spooned preachy w*nker.”

So far, Yungblud has not directly addressed the feud, and his rep explained why in a statement to TMZ following MGK’s Instagram comment.

“[Yungblud] has not commented directly as he is so busy focusing on his sold-out North American tour and finishing his next album. He genuinely hasn’t got time to engage in any of this but we wish MGK the very best,” the rep told the outlet.
