Following his 2023 European tour, he shared that he went to rehab, which many people didn’t know.

“I didn’t tell anybody outside of the [people] closest to me,” he said.

“That was my first time I ever went to rehab. They just gave me so many ways to operate the body and show where this anger is coming from and methods to quell it.”

“I met with a lot of psychiatrists, some who gave up on me and many therapists who did the same. But I ended up falling into an awareness of what my condition is and have made peace with it. It’s a constant tightrope walk,” he continued.

Podcast host Bunnie XO, who starred in the rapper’s “Lonely Road” music video alongside her husband, Jelly Roll, and MGK’s fiancée, Megan Fox, added: “You hold to that. Because I actually wanted you to have a drinking contest with my husband and you were like, ‘No, I’m sober.’”

He replied, “It just kills me because I just know I would have f—king drank that man under the table.”

“He rented out the bowling alley and the drinks kept coming,” MGK recalled. “That was probably the second night in this process that I’ve had where I’ve ever just been looking. And it was probably just from that place of ego where I was just like, ‘Jelly, I just want to drink you under the table.’”

When he and Jelly came to set, one was doing way better than the other.

“I saw his condition and I saw mine and I was like, ‘Yeah, I made the right choice,’” MGK said. “It was rough.”

He added that Megan Fox has been a help.

“Megan has for sure been extremely helpful in dealing with the kind of psychological withdrawals that come with [sobriety],” he shared, adding that “weed and alcohol” were his vices, and that he “loved snorting Vyvans,” along with hydrocodone and Percocet.

“I continue to embrace that this journey is gonna be hard for me, but I accept it and forgive myself. I’m also really hard on myself, very self-deprecating. So, I guess, I’m just happy that I’m able to start to be comfortable enough to show people who I am, because I kind of depended on my art to do that,” he added.
