In one of several resurfaced interviews, Machine Gun Kelly seemingly admitted his celebrity crush was a 17-year old Kendall Jenner, stating “I’m not waiting until she’s 18, I’ll go now. I’m not a creepy age. I’m 23, she’s 17 and a celebrity – there is no limits.”

He then went on to appear to say: “Robert Plant who was one of the greatest lead singers ever, dated a girl who was 14. Axl Rose, who was one of the biggest badasses ever, dated a girl who was 16 and wrote a song for their first album, about the girl who was 16.

"I don’t care. Say what you want – if Kendall Jenner was in your bedroom naked, and you’re 50 – you’re going.”

In another clip filmed on the 2012 BET Awards red carpet, Kelly can be heard making inappropriate comments about black women, as well as calling another woman a "b***h".

After seeing the videos Alice Glass took to Twitter and posted the clips with the following statement:
