Machine Gun Kelly Reveals Sweet Nickname for His, Megan Fox’s Daughter Saga
Machine Gun Kelly loves his children more than life.
And at least, more than his birthday. The “Bad Things” artist rang in his 36th birthday with his 12-month-old daughter Saga Blade, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Megan Fox.
He shared a video of his festivities, which primarily consisted of Saga reading him A Day on the Farm.
“What does a cow say?” MGK (whose real name is Colson Baker) asked in the video shared to Instagram April 22, to which Saga responded with a moo. “What does a chicken say?”
When the toddler gave a resounding “bawk bawk,” the rapper praised her with the adorable nickname he gave her, “Good job, princess!”
In the caption of his post, he added, “usually I throw a big birthday party today, but this all I want.”
Saga recently celebrated her own birthday on April 1, with her father commemorating the milestone with photos looking back at her first year of life. As proof of his daughters’ strong bond, MGK included sweet moments between Saga and her big sister Casie Baker, 16, whom the musician had with ex Emma Cannon.
And while Saga’s parents split in late 2024, things got a little complicated between the “More Than Life” singer and the Transformers actress recently. Fans speculated that Megan blocked MGK on Instagram after he left some flirty comments under her recent NSFW posts in March.
Responding to the steamy snaps, MGK remarked, “Stoked i have your phone number.”
Still, he denied that they had rekindled their romance back in January, saying “Mainstream gossip media is so [corn emoji].”

But despite any disagreements, the “My Ex’s Best Friend” artist previously emphasized their commitment to co-parenting, heralding Megan as a “phenomenal mom.”
“It truly was an epic story of love, pain and a lot of magic,” MGK explained during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show in September 2025. “I had it with a person who is the greatest partner, the greatest partner to have had a child with.”
