Now, the Cleveland native has paired up with YouTuber Alissa Violet for his new rock song \u2018why are you here,\u2019 with the 23-year-old teaming up with Kelly, real name Richard Baker, to provide backing vocals on the chorus. Following the release of the song on December 19, Machine Gun Kelly began to receive tweets asking who was performing the backing vocals on the chorus, as there are no official featured artists on the track asides from the rapper-turned-rockstar himself. Much to the surprise of many, the 29-year-old quickly explained that Alissa Violet was one-half of the duo belting out the chorus alongside him, as she joined singer\/songwriter Good Grace to back-up Kelly. This immediately sent Twitter crazy, with many sending their congratulations and sharing their excitement at their partnership, with some telling the 23-year-old that it was \u201cgreat,\u201d while overs saw the decision to team up as \u201clegends helping out legends.\u201d The song is already closing in on a million listens on YouTube, with 706,00 people checking it out at the time of writing, with the track also available on streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music for those who want to listen on the move.

Violet has yet to respond to her appearance, simply confirming that she was in the track in an Instagram story following why are you here\u2019s release. While his relationship with Violet is obviously blooming thanks to their collaboration, the rapper has had some heated confrontations with content creators from YouTube. the 29-year-old recently spotted No Jumper\u2019s Adam \u2018adam22\u2019 Grandmaison interviewing FaZe Banks at an event and slapped the microphone out of his hand.
