Machine Gun Kelly nearly had a role in Sinners, but he ultimately chose to pass on the box office hit because he didn’t want to use a racial slur.
MGK made the revelation during his appearance on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show over the weekend, sharing he had auditioned for the Ryan Coogler film.
“Like Sinners, I was supposed to be in that,” MGK said.
“I have a lot of aspirations to be in movies, it just hasn’t panned out that way,” he said.
The album features singles “Cliché,” “Miss Sunshine,” and “Vampire Diaries,” which was co-produced by Travis Barker.
