Machine Gun Kelly has a lot of baffled fans scratching their heads and flipping through the medical textbooks after he posted a photo of three leeches sucking his blood this week, as good leeches tend to do.
While the star offered up no explanation as to why he had the critters chilling on his tattooed torso, we can only assume he is taking a leaf out of a medieval medicine book and drawing out the ‘bad blood’ they were believed to at the time.
MGK – real name Colson Baker – shared a small clip to his Instagram earlier on Thursday morning, with the caption: ‘These friends suck.’
Turns out leeches are still used in modern medicine, and, according to the NHS ‘used in reconstructive surgery to provide a vacuum effect that helps stimulate blood circulation’.
Apparently it’s all well and good for us to scoff at such a practice seen on MGK’s stories, but turns out this process ‘is crucial to help kick start blood flow into, for example, a reattached finger’.
The more you know.
However, there is nothing to suggest MGK has any medical issues.
Still, that didn’t stop fans from voicing their concern, and for some, baffled confusion, at the singer’s post.
One very concerned Twitter user wrote: ‘ARE THESE LEECHES?!!?!? MACHINE GUN KELLY HAS LOST HIS EVERLASTING MIND.’
Another reached out to the star himself and asked: ‘Buddy @machinegunkelly why do you have leeches in your abdomen SUCKING YOUR BLOOD?!? serious question.’
And others may have needed to source their own medical help: ‘I just unfortunately had to witness leeches hanging off the body of Machine Gun Kelly Im gonna be sick. [sic]’
It comes after MGK and his pal and potential Kim Kardashian-dater Pete Davidson got together for an eyebrow-raising Instagram Live in their Calvin Kleins earlier this week.
In a takeover of the brand’s official page they spoke about one another’s ‘goods’ during the eight-minute clip, while wearing the famous white briefs in what Pete described as a ‘porno house’.
The pair sat fully clothed on a white couch eating popcorn before stripping down to their pants as they flexed the role of ‘underwear models’.
With their bits clearly on their mind, Pete shared some self-deprecating jokes about his manhood, despite being the father of so-called ‘Big D**k Energy’, or BDE.
In the raucous chat, which had social media in a tizz, the pair spoke about ‘fluffing the boys’ while Pete added he contemplated ‘stuffing a banana’ in his pants. We assume for the added kick of potassium and nothing more.
MGK – who is dating Megan Fox – went on to suggest he added ‘two socks’ into his underwear ahead of the clip.
And now I suppose we have leeches…
