This year’s MGK Day in Cleveland wasn’t just about him. On Sunday, August 10, Machine Gun Kelly turned the spotlight on his daughter, Casie Baker, in a way she’ll never forget. Just weeks after turning 16 in July, Casie got the ultimate surprise, her dream car, an Acura TLX, wrapped with a giant red bow.
The emotional moment unfolded in front of fans and quickly made its way across social media. Casie was visibly surprised as the sleek black Acura arrived. She immediately ran into her dad’s arms, enjoying the moment. But before she could slide into the driver’s seat, MGK offered one golden rule.

Now Casie is waiting to pass her upcoming driving test, which, according to her dad, she may actually pass before he ever does. During an appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends just days before the event, MGK admitted that Casie will likely get her license before him.

MGK continues his parenthood journey:
The singer and his ex, Megan Fox, welcomed their daughter, Saga Blade, on March 27. In a June performance on Today, he explained the significance behind her name. “The five years of her culmination of coming, disappearing, coming back again… she is an epic story, and that’s what Saga means.” The name also nods to Norse mythology, where Sága is the goddess of storytelling.
