Machine Gun Kelly agrees to punch fan in the face in bizarre concert moment

Machine Gun Kelly gave one fan at his Belgium concert the gift of a lifetime: a punch to the face. 

While performing at the 2023 Rock Werchter festival this past weekend, the rapper noticed a fan holding a bizarre sign, which read, "I just came from Mexico 4 U 2 punch me in the face."

In video shared to his social media, Kelly showed the entire incident, previously captioned, "Why do you want me to punch you in the face, so bad?" he asked.

"I love you," the fan said.

"I got rings on dude, that s---'s gonna hurt," Megan Fox's beau explained, before telling the fan he would consider doing it.

"It's a lose-lose for me."

The video then cut to Kelly's performance of his hit "my ex's best friend." 

No longer elevated on the platform where he performs, Kelly walked toward the fan in the front row and examined the peculiar sign, and then looked directly at a camera. Promptly, but playfully, Kelly decked the fan, much to his glee. The rapper was rewarded with a double thumbs up.

"I love you," he yelled to the fan while retreating back to the stage.

"Making dreams come true," Kelly captioned the post with a thumbs up emoji.

Fans had mixed reactions in the comments section, with some expressing concern that the rapper would later be sued.

"Lawsuit gets filed the next day and homeboy buys Mexico," one user wrote.

"I like how he made sure to turn the written request to the camera in case he sues," another pointed out.

"Ew Why cant people just be normal," another person asked.

"God, i wish that was me," one fan lamented.

A user claiming to be the punched fan also expressed his appreciation for MGK on Instagram, clarifying the nature of the request.

"Thank you very much for making my dream come true," Marcos Cid de la Paz commented in part. "I do not lie when I tell you that I love you and that I can feel deep in my heart the lyrics of your songs. I waited so long to see you, and I still cannot believe this happened. It's not a kink or something like that (I read comments mentioning that lol). You know, I've hurt myself sometimes, and I really hope this wasn't too scary for you."

This move by MGK flips the latest trend of fans injuring performers on its head.

Last month, Bebe Rexha sought medical attention after she was hit in the face with a cell phone. The fan accused of throwing the phone was later arrested. Rexha ended up with a bruised face and stiches.

Kelsea Ballerini was also hit in the face during a concert – a fan threw a bracelet which hit Ballerini in the eye. The country star left the stage, only to return later. She explained that she had not been hurt, just was frightened by the ordeal.

Pink did not experience any physical violence, but was also faced with a fan using a nonconventional way to get noticed by the star. While performing overseas, a fan threw their mother's ashes onstage, much to the singer's shock and general confusion.

'The dam is breaking' on school choice as battleground state passes voucher program: advocate

Ohio joined the growing number of states passing pro-school choice legislation by expanding its voucher program to more families.

"Ohio is the eighth state to go all-in on school choice in just two years," Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children, told Fox News. "The dam is breaking for the government school monopoly." 

The $86 billion education budget that Gov. Mike DeWine signed Tuesday included pro-school choice policies, joining Arizona, West Virginia, Iowa, Utah, Arkansas, Florida and Oklahoma, which passed similar legislation in the past two years.

Ohio's voucher expansion allows families earning up to 450% of the federal poverty line ($135,000 for a family of four) to apply for scholarships. Previously, only families earning up to $250% of the poverty line were eligible.

The scholarships provided increased by 12% — the same increase public schools received — with up to about $6,200 for K-8 students and $8,400 for high schoolers to use for private schools or for homeschooling.

The funding a family receives depends on income, though scholarships won't drop below 10% of the full scholarship amount, according to Dayton Daily News.

"Now Ohio joins the growing list of states that are empowering all families with school choice by making every K-12 student eligible for an opportunity scholarship," Jason Bedrick, a research fellow at the Center for Education Policy at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News.

"Gov. DeWine and state lawmakers deserve great credit for putting families in the driver’s seat when it comes to their kids’ education," Bedrick added. "Families deserve to be able to choose learning environments that align with their values and best fit their children’s unique learning needs. In Ohio, that aspiration is becoming a reality."

Families will be able to verify their income by showing their eligibility for other state and federal income-based programs, signing an affidavit about meeting the requirements or by providing other information the Department of Education requests.

Currently, the EdChoice program costs about an annual $350 million and is distributed to more than 60,000 students, according to Ohio's Office of Budget and Management.

School vouchers were first available in Ohio in Cleveland in 1996 then expanded statewide in 2005, according to the Ohio Department of Education’s website.

"Education freedom is flowing through red states and there's nothing the teachers unions can do about it," DeAngelis siad. "I'd like to thank Randi Weingarten and her union allies for overplaying their hand and awakening a sleeping giant: parents."
