“You cancelled a tour because you couldn’t sell tickets blamed it on mental health then got parazzi’d at Nobu the next day Pinocchio,” MGK wrote, “and your actual tour tickets are still the same price as every other artist… shut the f**k up you silver spooned preachy w*nker.”
So far, Yungblud has not directly addressed the feud, and his rep explained why in a statement to TMZfollowing MGK’s Instagram comment.
“[Yungblud] has not commented directly as he is so busy focusing on his sold-out North American tour and finishing his next album. He genuinely hasn’t got time to engage in any of this but we wish MGK the very best,” the rep told the outlet.
