ARTIST Machine Gun Kelly is under fire online after a strange encounter with Sky Sports News reporter Martin Brundle at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

The encounter happened on the Formula One (F1) grid in Brazil where the American rapper was seen to be distant with the reporter and when asked how his career was going he said; “I don’t really think about my career that much.”

The rapper mentioned working in the studio with F1 driver Lewis Hamilton before challenging the reporter to play air guitar.

As Brundle refuses Kelly is seen to walk away after giving the camera a thumbs down.

Brundle moves on and remarks; “I won’t be on his Christmas card list this year.”

The reactions have been mixed online however the majority do not excuse the rappers behaviour.

Taking to X, one man posted to the platform; “And do******g of the week goes to Machine Gun Kelly at the Grand Prix. What an absolute p***k.”
