Machine Gun Kelly shares bizarre blood leech ritual
Megan Fox’s fiance, Machine Gun Kelly, has revealed a second bloodsucker in his life – sharing his bizarre leeching ritual with his fans.
Megan Fox isn’t the only one who wants Machine Gun Kelly’s blood.
The “Bloody Valentine” singer, 32, shared a video via his Instagram Stories on Friday of a group of leeches crawling over his bare stomach.
“My best friends,” Kelly wrote over the post, Page Six reports.
MGK did not give any explanation for why he had his new pals on his body, but leeches have been used for therapeutic purposes since the beginning of civilisation, per the National Library of Medicine.
According to studies, leeches can aid a wide range of health issues, including inflammation, bleeding, nervous system abnormalities, skin diseases, dental complications and urinary and reproductive system problems.
However, the leeches aren’t the only bloodsuckers in MGK’s life.
When the “Emo Girl” singer announced his engagement to Fox, 36, in January, the pair revealed that they drink each other’s blood.
The Transformers star later clarified that they only consume it for “ritual purposes.”
“So, I guess to ‘drink’ each other’s blood might mislead people or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like Game of Thrones, drinking each other’s blood,” Fox told Glamour UK in April.
“It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.”
Fox also said that she is into astrology and does “all these metaphysical practices and meditations.”
“I do rituals on new moons and full moons, and all these things,” the Jennifer’s Body star explained.
“And so, when I do it, it’s a passage or it is used for a reason. And it is controlled where it’s like, ‘Let’s shed a few drops of blood and each drink it.‘”
Aside the blood drinking, MGK and Fox have also admitted they wear vials of each other’s blood as necklaces.
Kelly wrote on Valentine’s Day 2021 via Instagram, “I wear your blood around my neck.”
