Machine Gun Kelly left the American Music Awards early because his daughter has a fever.

The 35-year-old singer and his former partner Megan Fox, 39, welcomed their baby girl into the world two months ago, and the 'Emo Girl' star had to cut his time at the AMA ceremony short because the tot was sick at home.

He told E! News on Monday night (26.05.25): "Baby's great.

"She has a little bit of a fever, so I'm gonna just walk the carpet and go back, you know what I mean, and handle my business.

"Give her my pheromones, and let her heal up."

MGK - who also has daughter Casie, 15, with his ex Emma Cannon - insisted fatherhood is something he was meant to do.

He added: "I was born to be a dad. Yeah, it's my purpose."

In a different red carpet interview, the 'Cliche' hitamker admitted life was "awesome" as a dad.

He told Access Online: "I'm just so elated. It's just awesome."
