Machine Gun Kelly has claimed he eats food merely a "couple times a week".

During a recent Kick livestream with Internet personality Adin Ross, the singer-actor - also known as MGK - explained he was only eating a hamburger cooked by YouTuber Mike Majlak because "that's my man's s**t".

Kelly, real name Colson Baker, went on to note that he rarely eats a full meal.

"I don't really eat, just do water a bunch," he said, insisting he would "probably" just have had water for dinner if they weren't streaming.

Elsewhere, Kelly described how he has adopted intermittent fasting and often only consumes "bone broth with kimchi and sauerkraut".

"I'll eat a couple of times a week. I drink celery juice sometimes, coconut water," the 35-year-old continued. "Kimchi and sauerkraut has a lot of good probiotics. I just cook it in the bone broth. 'Cause that has probiotics. When you do those water fasts, the only thing that's crazy is that it kills all the good bacteria in you, too."

Despite his commitment to the strict diet, MGK conceded that he still drinks coffee and smokes cigarettes.

The singer's comments have sparked widespread concern among his fans. He has yet to address the furore.
