Machine Gun Kelly has been using his platform to speak up against the racially-charged killing of George Floyd.

The 30-year-old showed off his tatted torso under an open grey shirt with a black bandana as a face mask.
He finished the look with some blue slacks and a pair of white Converse high-top sneakers.
The protest comes on the second night of Santa Monica’s 4pm curfew, which was implemented along with several cities across the country.
Kelly took to Instagram from the protest the day before, holding up a sign that said ‘silence is betrayal.’

The Bloody Valentine artist said Friday in a heartfelt video: ‘If you look like me and you have racism in your heart, and on your mind, and coming out your mouth, f*** you. I’m ashamed of you.
‘If you enjoy my music or you like my movies, I don’t want you watching, I don’t want your business. F*** you. I don’t want nothing that’s a part of the evil agenda. That’s not what our generation’s legacy is gonna be.
‘So, I’m drawing a line, and I’m asking the people step up and speak out for our fellow people going through all this hell right now. And encourage good.
‘Let our kids grow up in a world where they’re not afraid to leave their f***ing house or their cars or be running down the street. Evil is running the show, man. Take it back from them. F*** these motherf***ers!’
