Machine Gun Kelly marked his daughter Casie's milestone 16th birthday with a gift she will not soon forget, her dream car.
The 35-year-old musician, born Colson Baker, presented Casie with a black Acura TLX during his "MGK Day" event in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 10. In a video circulating on social media, Casie can be seen reacting with surprise before embracing her father. The vehicle, adorned with a large red bow, was handed over just weeks after her actual birthday celebration.
Before she could step inside, Baker posed an important question: "What's the number one rule?" Casie immediately responded, "Don't drive like your dad," prompting her father's approving, "Exactly."
Standing atop the car for photographs, Casie joked that the only remaining step was to obtain her driver's license, something she revealed would not happen until September due to a missed requirement in the licensing process. Baker admitted the situation was fitting, as he himself has yet to secure a license.
The rapper shares Casie with ex-partner Emma Cannon and is also father to four-month-old daughter Saga Blade, whom he shares with ex-fiancée Megan Fox. Speaking on Today with Jenna & Friends earlier this month, Baker explained that Casie would likely receive her license before him, adding humorously, "Something about this family and driver's licenses, we can't seem to get them on time."
While showing off the red interior of Casie's new Acura, Baker admitted he was unsure why this specific model was her dream car, but emphasized that her happiness was what mattered. He also noted that her new set of wheels could be useful for her first job as an ice cream scooper.
Baker has frequently expressed pride in his relationship with Casie, crediting her with helping him overcome personal struggles, including substance abuse. He has described her as having a strong influence on his decisions, both personally and professionally.
Casie's Sweet 16 celebrations earlier in the summer included matching cowboy hats and dancing with her father to Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday," underscoring the close bond they share. For Baker, the gift of a car was not only a symbol of celebration but also a gesture of support as his daughter steps into a new chapter of independence.
