Bob Dylan left Machine Gun Kelly completely astonished after sharing a throwback video of him freestyle-rapping at an Orlando Record store, taken back in 2016.
On Wednesday, the legendary singer‑songwriter, 83, randomly posted the footage to his Instagram, which took MGK, 34, by surprise.
‘Wtf,’ the My Ex’s Best Friend hitmaker captioned a screen of Dylan’s post to his Instagram Story. ‘This was not on my 2025 bingo card.’
He went on to share a video of himself raving about receiving a shout-out from the music icon at the same moment he was ‘questioning’ the direction of his latest album.
Just as he was beginning to second guess his new music, Kelly said ‘in the same breath’ someone on his team alerted him that ‘Bob Dylan just posted a video of you.’
Initially, he brushed off what he was told as he thought to himself: ‘There must be another Bob Dylan. Whatever.’

‘We got to his Instagram, he did post a video. I’m like…Just the originator of doing everything opposite of what people wanted him to do, randomly posting a video of me back in the day rapping in a vinyl shop. I’m just like, “What the f**k?”‘ he told his fans.
MGK went on to say that he took it as a nudge from the universe to ‘trust the signs.’
‘That was so cool. I’m so grateful. So random,’ he concluded.
At this time, Kelly and his ex, Megan Fox, are preparing to welcome their first child together.
Earlier this month, a source told Us Weekly that the former couple are moving forward strictly as co-parents as they learn to navigate life post-split.
‘Megan is moving forward independently and is not interested in revisiting the past,’ the insider admitted to the outlet.
‘Megan is focused on her pregnancy and not looking back. She is deeply hurt by how things ended but is focusing on healing.’
The rapper is reportedly ‘struggling’ to accept his new reality and is attempting to repurpose ‘his energy into self-improvement.’

‘He has been focusing on mental health and getting back in shape,’ the source insisted. ‘He’s heartbroken but trying to move forward.’
Megan and MGK called off their five year romance in late November, just weeks after they announced they were expecting a child.
The news marks a new chapter for the Transformers star, who is already a devoted mom to her three sons — Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, eight — shared with ex-husband Brian Austin Green.
The Glass House performer is father to 15-year-old daughter Casie, whom he co-parents with ex Emma Cannon.
As she awaits the arrival of her baby, the Subservience star is ‘taking extra care of herself and focusing on a healthy pregnancy.’
And insiders suggest she’s prioritizing a calm and healthy environment until further notice.

Although the exes have had a famously tumultuous relationship over the years, this time appears different with insiders sharing that there’s little indication that the two will rekindle their romance.
‘MGK would like to reconcile, but Megan is firm in her decision to move on,’ the source continued. ‘
She does not see a future with him anymore. She doesn’t want to put herself in the same position again with him anymore. She wants to break the cycle.’
The day prior it was reported that Fox is ‘done for good’ with the rocker.
The exes were first link in 2020 while on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass. By 2022, the 6’4″ singer dropped to one knee.

But during their engagement, the pair were on-and-off as they worked to bring peace to their bond.
And in November of 2023, Megan revealed that she had a miscarriage which in turn made the pair’s relationship even rockier.
She previously discussed the heartbreaking matter with Good Morning America, hoping that her story would help break the stigma and taboo surrounding failed pregnancies.
‘I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us, and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately and together and apart,’ Megan said on the show.
Earlier this month, a source told Us Weekly that the former couple are moving forward strictly as co-parents as they learn to navigate life post-split; seen in 2021
‘Trying to navigate, “What does this mean?” and “Why did this happen?”‘
Despite Megan and MGK’s separation, the source assured the outlet that their unborn child is the ‘greatest gift’ that has come from their time together.
‘She believes that while they may not have been meant to be together, she was meant to bring his child into the world. Her children are her greatest blessing,’ the insider added.
‘She is looking ahead with excitement, ready to welcome her baby and focus on the future.’
