When Machine Gun Kelly slid into Brian Austin Green’s DMs, he probably didn’t expect the actor to post it for the world to see. But that’s exactly what happened — and now, the feud over Megan Fox’s pregnancy has exploded into the public eye.
From baby drama to ego wars, this isn’t just another celebrity headline — it’s a crash course in how not to co-parent on Instagram.
In a now-viral Instagram Story, Brian Austin Green, 51, shared a screenshot of a direct message from Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), 34. In the message, MGK allegedly told Green to “stop asking when the baby is due,” referring to the child he’s expecting with Megan Fox.
The message was laced with frustration and profanity — and Green’s response was loaded with sarcasm.
“Being called a child actor isn’t the insult you think it is,” he wrote, before jokingly warning Leonardo DiCaprio to “watch his back,” in reference to MGK’s apparent insecurities.

This public exchange is just the latest in a long-simmering feud between the two men, made more complicated by their ties to Megan Fox.
Fox, 38, shares three sons with Green and is currently pregnant with MGK’s child — due this spring. The pregnancy was announced in November 2024, just weeks before news broke of her split from MGK.
Though no longer together, MGK has vowed to be involved in his child’s life, sharing spiritual reflections and emotional updates via social media.
Meanwhile, Green remains Fox’s co-parent — and now, the unofficial spokesperson for whatever DM drama MGK unleashes.

Green didn’t just post MGK’s DM — he posted a message.
A message that said, “I’m not the one to mess with.”
The internet quickly took sides. Some praised Green for his calm clapback. Others questioned the maturity of airing private messages so publicly.
Still, in 2025, when you’re a celebrity dad — especially one with a famous ex — Instagram isn’t just a photo-sharing app. It’s a power play.

Even before this dust-up, Green had criticized MGK’s behavior, once telling an interviewer that the singer should “grow up” and show more respect for Fox’s family situation.
Now, that sentiment seems to have exploded into public retaliation.
“You can feel the territorial energy on both sides,” one family therapist told People. “It’s not about the baby — it’s about control, ego, and identity.”
While the internet eats up the feud, it’s easy to forget that children are at the center of this saga — including one that hasn’t been born yet.
What began as a simple due-date question has spiraled into a digital ego war. The real test now? Whether MGK and Green can put pride aside and create a peaceful space for their overlapping families.
There’s no official truce in sight — but as Fox’s due date approaches, we may soon find out whether these two men can figure out what truly matters:
The next generation, not the next headline.
