Machine Gun Kelly has come under fire after he was heard saying he would not wait for Kendall Jenner to turn 18 before making a move on her in a resurfaced clip.
The musician made the comments in an interview with Fuse in 2013, when he was 23 years old and Kendall was just 17 and living in LA, where the legal aged of consent was 18.
When the host asked him who his first celebrity crush was, Machine Gun Kelly said: “I don’t care who my first celebrity crush was because right now it’s Kendall Jenner.
“God damn I’ve said that so many motherf***ing times, I hope that I’m snagging that.
“Don’t let me move to LA. Oof, I’m finding her.”

The host then asked if Machine Gun Kelly, real name Colson Baker, was “counting down the days” until Kendall was 18.
He replied: “I’m not waiting until she’s 18, I’ll go now. I’m 23, dog, I’m not like a creepy age, y’know what I’m saying?
He then told how there are “no limits” when people are famous.
He added: “I’m 23, she’s 17, and she’s a celebrity. There’s no limits right there.”
Many social media users hit out at Machine Gun over his comments.

A third added: “I didn’t think it could get worse but then he j kept going”.

Machine Gun Kelly, who is now engaged to Megan Fox, defended his comments in the interview by referring to stars who allegedly had relationships with underage girls.
He said: “Robert Plant, who is one of the greatest lead singers ever, dated a girl who was 14.
“Axl Rose was one of the biggest badasses ever, dated a girl who was 16 and wrote a song on his first album about the girl that was 16.”
“I don’t care, say what you want, man, if Kendall Jenner is in your bedroom naked and you’re 50, you’re going.”
Machine Gun Kelly has been approached by Daily Star Online for comment.
