In recent months, Bob Dylan’s social media presence has been as eccentric and inscrutable as the music icon is in real life. But the 83-year-old Nobel Prize winner outdid himself on Wednesday (February 26), by randomly sharing an old 2016 video of Machine Gun Kelly rapping at an Orlando Record store, leaving MGK and everyone else shocked and confused. “Wtf,” wrote MGK over a screenshot of Dylan’s post on his Instagram Stories. “this was not on my 2025 bingo card.” The rapper elaborated on the unusual experience in a video where admits that he was just questioning if he was going in the right direction on his new album when a friend told him, “Bob Dylan just posted a video of you.” “I’m like, ‘There must be another Bob Dylan. Whatever,’” Kelly responded. After seeing the clip was shared by THE Bob Dylan, MGK was honored. “Just the originator of doing everything opposite of what people wanted him to do, randomly posting a video of me back in the day rapping in a vinyl shop,” he said. “Just trust the signs, man. That was so cool. I’m so grateful. So random.” (People)
