MGK took aim at Yungblud in a since-deleted comment on Instagram, which was screenshotted by fans and posted on X

In the comment, MGK said Yungblud canceled a tour because he "couldn't sell tickets"

Last month, MGK also seemingly dissed Yungblud on his song "Fix Ur Face"

MGK and Yungblud's feud has a new development.

On Tuesday, May 19, Yungblud posted a video on Instagram where he talks about live music becoming inaccessible due to high ticket prices.

"Artists are canceling all the time based on lack of ticket sales because it is an issue. It's completely unaffordable for people," Yungblud, 28, said.

In a since-deleted comment, MGK, 36, wrote that Yungblud (born Dominic Harrison) canceled his tour because he "couldn't sell tickets." (In November 2025, Yungblud announced that he was ordered by a doctor to cancel the remainder of his tour due to health concerns.)

"Blamed it on mental health then got parazzi'd at Nobu the next day Pinocchio," he wrote, according to a screenshot posted by a fan on X. "And your actual tour tickets are still the same price as every other artist."

MGK (born Colson Baker) continued, according to the screenshot, "Shut the f--- up you silver spooned preachy wanker."

In a statement to TMZ, Yungblud's rep said that the rocker has not "commented directly as he is so busy focusing on his sold-out North American tour and finishing his next album."

"He genuinely hasn't got time to engage in any of this but we wish MGK the very best," the rep continued.

A rep for Yungblud and MGK did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

MGK's comment comes after he released a single called "Fix Ur Face" and social media users quickly pieced together a diss seemingly aimed at Yungblud.

"Mickey Mouse kids turned rockstars / Leaving private schools, tryna be outlaws," MGK sings on the song.

Yungblud attended a private boarding school in Yorkshire, England, then the Arts Educational School in London. He also appeared on the first season of the Disney show The Lodge, which aired in 2016.

The feud seemingly stems back to Yungblud's 2024 appearance on The Osbournes podcast. At the time, Kelly Osbourne made a comment about MGK copying Yungblud's use of pink. Then, mom Sharon Osbourne suggested she wasn't a fan of MGK.

"Don't get me started on that one," Sharon said, to which Yungblud responded, "Fair."

While MGK didn't address the conversation around the lyrics, he posted on X following the song's release.

"I see one particular line is going over your heads," wrote the "Home" singer.

MGK and Yungblud previously sang together on 2019's "I Think I'm Okay," which was featured on MGK's Hotel Diablo. The following year, MGK appeared on Yungblud's song "Acting Like That."

MGK spoke with NME about his friendship with Yungblud the same year. In the interview, he said he was a "fan of everything he does, including his attitude and his way of dressing."
