Candy rapper Richard Colson Baker, A.K.A Machine Gun Kelly is a force of nature in the rap and hip-hop industry and has easily become one of the most versatile white rappers of his generation. The 31-year-old certainly caught the eye of P. Diddy Combs, one of the biggest MC legends to come out of the early 2000s.
MGK’s raw talent for music isn’t the only thing making headlines. For years, the young rapper's romantic life has been a huge topic of interest for tabloids, given all his high-profile relationships, both rumored and confirmed. The Lace-Up rapper has been involved with a slew of women from Amber Rose, Halsey to now publicly dating Megan Fox.
However, he can’t seem to make the relationships last. Machine Guy Kelly couldn’t even stay with his child’s mother, Emma Cannon, whom the star has nothing but immense praise for. Not much is known about Ms. Cannon, but it’s pretty clear that she made a huge impact on Machine Gun Kelly’s life.
Updated on September 28, 2021, by Michael Chaar: Machine Gun Kelly welcomed his daughter, Casie Colson Baker back in 2008 when he was only 18-years-old. The rapper was dating Emma Cannon at the time, however the duo didn't make it the long run. Luckily for the two, both MGK and Emma have an amicable relationship to this day, mainly for their daughter, who turned 13 this past summer. Emma and her personal life however, remain a mystery to the public eye. Machine Gun Kelly has given Emma a number of shout-outs on social media, particularly when Mother's Day rolls around.
Now, Kelly is dating actress Megan Fox, who has not only met Emma but has gone on a handful of outings with her, proving themselves to be quite the happy family.
The Birth Of Their Daughter Casie Colson Baker
Despite Machine Gun Kelly being a huge rap star and all, the 31-year-old has eluded the media on personal details of his life. Sources have reported that the rapper’s parents were traveling missionaries and eventually separated, leaving Kelly and his father to go live with his aunt for a while. Machine Gun Kelly’s ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon, however, is pretty much a big question mark.
The mystery woman has evaded the media for years, by both herself and MGK apparently. Cannon reportedly doesn’t have any active social media accounts, which makes her difficult for tabloids to track down. Though, there are a few details known about her and Machine Gun Kelly’s relationship, as well as the daughter they share together, Casie Colson Baker.
Sources note that Richard Colson Baker and Emma Cannon met as teenagers and bored their first child together as young parents. Machine Gun Kelly and his then-girlfriend welcomed Casie Colson Baker on July 23, 2008. Talk about trying to navigate a rap career while caring for a young child.
MGK Wrote A Song About His Ex-Girlfriend

CelebrityMirror even reports that the Rap Devil rapper dedicated a song to Emma Cannon back in 2012 titled 'Her Song'. In the music video, we can even hear a snippet of a woman’s voicemail that fans have speculated is Emma Cannon herself.
Throughout the song, MGK talks about how his “dream cost him the love of his life” and has tried to win back Cannon’s affections, but to no avail. By the rapper going through so much trouble to get her back, we’re left wondering why they broke up in the first place?
The Rapper Gives Shout-Outs To The Mother Of His Child
While most exes wish ill-intentions to each other, Machine Gun Kelly and his ex-girlfriend seem to have a mutual kinship towards one another, especially when it comes to caring for their daughter. The 30-year-old rapper thinks nothing of the best of his baby mama and he makes it known on social media. Sources note that every year, on Mother’s Day, the rapper praises Casie’s mother. In 2013, MGK posted a now since-deleted photo to his Instagram page, with the caption, “Happy Mother’s Day to the best mother I’ve seen firsthand.”
Clearly, Machine Gun Kelly and Emma Cannon have a good relationship, despite all the “insane circumstances” they weathered through. We’re sure that if MGK were given the chance, he’d right whatever wrongdoings he did to his ex-girlfriend.
Has MGK Introduced Casie To Megan Fox?
Machine Gun Kelly has quite a close relationship with his daughter, Casie, so it's no surprise he would want her to be just as close to new boo, Megan Fox. The trio have been out and about a handful of times, proving that Fox their dynamic is one worth praising.
After appearing in MGK's 'Bloody Valentine' music video back in May 2020, rumors began swirling regarding the two dating, however, the couple didn't confirm their relationship status until July 28. They went Instagram official two months later, and have been inseparable ever since.
