Over the past decade, few artists have showcased the genre-blending versatility that both Post Malone and MGK (formerly Machine Gun Kelly) have exhibited.

Post has flitted seamlessly between trap, indie-pop, country and rock, while MGK has also explored the murkier outer edges of the rap, punk, rock and country worlds.

What’s more, Post and MGK have been good buddies for years now, with the duo regularly photographed at events and shows together. Most recently, the two trailblazing artists have linked up for a snap at the official Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party in LA.

As a result of their longstanding friendship and the malleability of their styles, fans have spent the past ten years clamouring for Post Malone and MGK to join forces in the studio.

Unfortunately, that duet has so far proven elusive. However, judging by a recent Instagram Stories post from MGK of the two, it looks like this collaboration might finally be happening.

Alongside a photo of him with Post Malone, seemingly taken during the Pre-Grammy bash, MGK has offered the teasing caption, “I think this the year we give the fans one”.

MGK is clearly aware of how vocal his listeners have been about their belief that a team-up with Post Malone would sound incredible – and we have to say we agree with them.

Given the fact that MGK has been venturing into the country music space over the past year, releasing a cover of Zach Bryan’s ‘Sun to Me’ and ‘Lonely Road’ with Jelly Roll, we’re hoping this MGK and Post Malone collaboration will be country-leaning.

Of course, given the eclectic palette of sonic textures and styles MGK and Post Malone can dip into, there’s no telling what specific genre a joint track would fall into.

The most likely option, inevitably, is that it will eschew any kind of categorisation altogether. Either way, we’re sure it will fit into the category of being awesome, and we’re therefore hoping this duet comes to fruition sooner rather than later.

While he’s at it, we’re keeping our fingers crossed MGK has plans to at long last release his keenly awaited collaboration with Lana Del Rey, another artist venturing into Nashville.

The duet, believed to be titled ‘Bad For You’, has been knocking around fan-groups and unofficial YouTube pages for over seven years – so perhaps now that both MGK and Lana are exploring country music, it’s time for that track to come to light.

Bob Dylan Randomly Posts 2016 Machine Gun Kelly Performance Video on Instagram — Leaving Rapper in Shock: ‘What the F—?’

“Cool moment that just happened,” said MGK in a video response to Dylan’s post of him freestyling in an Orlando record store

Is Bob Dylan a Machine Gun Kelly Fan?

The Nobel Prize-winning music icon, 83, surprised his Instagram followers on Feb. 26 by randomly sharing a 2016 video of MGK freestyle-rapping at an Orlando Record store — and the “My Ex’s Best Friend” artist is shocked.

“wtf,” wrote MGK alongside a screenshot of Dylan’s post on his Instagram Stories. “this was not on my 2025 bingo card.”

He then shared a front-facing selfie video to the platform and spoke about Dylan sharing the clip. “Cool moment that just happened,” said MGK.

“I’m in my conversation pit in my house having a whole discussion about, ‘Am I doing the right thing? Is this the right direction for this album? I’m questioning it,” he explained. “And in the same breath that I’m questioning it, someone goes, ‘Bob Dylan just posted a video of you.’ And I’m like, ‘There must be another Bob Dylan. Whatever.’”

The “Papercuts” performer continued, “We got to his Instagram, he did post a video. I’m like…Just the originator of doing everything opposite of what people wanted him to do, randomly posting a video of me back in the day rapping in a vinyl shop. I’m just like, ‘What the f—?’”

“Just trust the signs, man,” concluded MGK. “That was so cool. I’m so grateful. So random.”

Dylan’s been quite active on Instagram as of late, and he’s shared clips of various artists performing as well as footage from films.

The “It Ain’t Me, Babe” musician is gearing up to embark on the 2025 Never Ending Tour, kicking off March 25 at the Tulsa Theater in Oklahoma. Tickets are already on sale for the show at Dylan’s website.

Then, Dylan will visit Century II Concert Hall in Wichita, Kan., on March 29; Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center in Mankato, Minn. on April 4; and The Weidner-Cofrin Family Hall in Green Bay, Wis., on April 6. Tickets for those shows will go on sale on Friday, Jan. 31.

Earlier this week, Timothée Chalamet took home the best actor trophy at the 2025 SAG Awards for his portrayal of Dylan in A Complete Unknown.
