Many celebrities enjoy engaging in gambling activities. Actors, famous singers and not unexpectedly, social media influencers, may place a bet every now and then. While some prefer to brag about their big bets, others enjoy their flutter without taking a picture of their poker chips.
During a recent visit to Sin City, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), the famous American singer, rapper, actor and songwriter, confirmed that he gambled away tens of thousands of dollars. The famous singer visited Las Vegas last week, making a surprise appearance with Jelly Roll. The two stars recently joined forces for a John Denver-inspired single called “Lonely Road.”
Jelly Roll performed at Allegiant Stadium when he was joined by MGK. The two performed their latest hit “Lonely Road.”
$50,000 Lost by MGK on Blackjack
During the recent concert, while MGK was on stage, he admitted to losing $50,000 while playing blackjack in Sin City. “I lost $50,000 on the blackjack table tonight. I need you all to go stream Lonely Road and make that money back,” said the famous singer. What’s more, MGK added: “I love you all, thank you Jelly for having me.”
Jelly Roll’s response was just as kind as he asked the crowd to make some noise for one of his best friends, MGK. “Thank you for coming,” added Jelly Roll as MGK was exiting the stage.
MGK did not reveal details regarding the particular casino he gambled at. With information on the matter scarce, it is unclear if the famous singer and rapper enjoys blackjack in general or if that was just a “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” thing.
Recently, media reports suggested that the famous rapper, Nelly, was arrested while trying to collect casino winnings from Missouri’s Hollywood Casino and Hotel. The famous singer reportedly attempted to collect several jackpots in St. Louis when he was detained. Accusations claim Nelly was in possession of drugs.
MGK’s recent $50,000 loss to gambling in Las Vegas is difficult to compare with the losses of fellow singer and rapper, Drake. Last month, the “Drake curse” hit once again after the rapper lost two wagers, one on the Stanley Cup finals and one on the NBA, costing him a sum of $1 million in total.
