Machine Gun Kelly is experiencing a wave of mixed emotions as he prepares to welcome a baby with ex-fiancée Megan Fox while mourning the tragic loss of his close friend, Australian snowboarder Luke “The Dingo” Trembath.
The 34-year-old rapper took to Instagram on Friday to express his grief, revealing how deeply Trembath’s passing at 38 years old has affected him. In an emotional tribute, MGK described Trembath as his “brother,” emphasizing that he had never felt such profound sorrow… even when his own father passed away.
“We’ll never get another Dingo on this planet,” he wrote. “A true rockstar without ever needing to make a song… the most loyal, loud, charismatic, funny, and annoying human I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.”
The pain of loss was compounded by the challenge of breaking the news to his 15-year-old daughter, Casie, who had a special bond with Trembath. MGK recalled the difficult moment, saying, “It was one of the hardest phone calls. She loved him so much.” He also reminisced about a childhood memory when Casie, too young to pronounce “Dingo,” affectionately called him “Ping Pong.”
Despite the heartbreak, MGK found a glimmer of hope in the thought that Trembath’s spirit might be watching over his soon-to-be-born child. “I feel like you’re up there with my new child, dressed up in a hilarious costume making them laugh, getting ready to send them down,” he wrote. “I couldn’t ask for a more bittersweet birth blessing.”
The rapper closed his heartfelt post with a message that encapsulated both loss and legacy: “Life will always be less without you, but legends never die. We’ll all miss you, brother.”
With the impending arrival of his child, MGK is navigating a whirlwind of emotions… celebrating new life while mourning an irreplaceable loss.
