Machine Gun Kelly Claims He Turned Down 'Sinners'

While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, in case you needed a red flag right out of the gate, Machine Gun Kelly claims he was supposed to audition for the role of the “second vampire” in Sinners. However, he turned the role down when he found out he had to say the n-word. Keep in mind, the movie was written and directed by Ryan Coogler, so it’s not like any of this would be out of pocket. Also keep in mind, I’m 90% positive this never happened, especially after Kelly proceeded to say the following about his film aspirations: “I’m on universal timing. It’ll align. The angels will put something in the works.” I’m pretty sure if you asked Machine Gun Kelly what year it is, he’d say he almost auditioned for Superman, but the dog kept trying to lure him into The Matrix.
