New details have emerged regarding the confrontation between
Conor
McGregor and Machine Gun Kelly that occurred at the MTV Video
Music Awards on Sunday.
According to a report from
”Extra,” the incident occurred because McGregor allegedly
messaged Kelly’s girlfriend, movie star Megan Fox. Initial reports
stated that MGK shoved the former UFC champion after he asked for a
picture, and McGregor responded by throwing a drink at the
singer/rapper.
Videos and photos show security separating the two men as McGregor
lunged and shouted at Kelly. Both men attended the VMAs, with Kelly
performing onstage. In an interview with
Entertainment Tonight, McGregor claimed to not know the cause
of the altercation.
“I don’t know,” McGregor said. “I just showed up, and I don’t know.
I don’t even know the guy, to be honest with you—just rumors.
Nothing happened to me. I only fight real fighters. People that
actually fight. I certainly don’t fight little Vanilla Ice white
rappers. I don’t even know the guy. I don’t know anything about
him, except that he’s with Megan Fox.”
McGregor spokesperson Karen Kessler denied that McGregor asked
Kelly for a photo at the event, which took place at the Barclays
Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
“Conor McGregor did not ask anyone for a picture, nor did he
instigate this incident,” Kessler wrote in the statement to
ESPN. “He does not know Machine Gun Kelly, outside of the fact
that he attended Conor’s fight this past July.
Meanwhile, Kelly, whose given name is Colson Baker, refused to
comment on the situation during a separate interview.
