Rappers Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) and Jelly Roll dropped their much-anticipated collaborative single Lonely Road on Friday, July 26, 2024. Both the song and its music video are out now and feature MGK's longtime on-and-off girlfriend/ex-fiancé, Megan Fox along with Roll's wife, Bunnie XO.

The music video has garnered a lot of online traction, especially the part that shows a baby girl nearly at the end of the video. The end credits read, “Introducing Baby Violet Leika.”

Following the end credit and the baby's feature in the video, fans have been speculating whether Megan Fox is pregnant in the video.

All you need to know about Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll’s Lonely Road

Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll released their latest collaboration, Lonely Road, on Friday, which is part of their TBC album. According to both rappers, the song took two years to “fine-tune,” and it was recorded in eight different studios while being filmed across four different countries.

The music video was directed by Sam Cahill and produced by Angel J. Rosa. It saw Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox celebrating their pregnancy, while Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO deal with infertility issues. It also shows how despite their opposite circumstances, they try to help out each other.

The song’s chorus and titular line, “Lonely Road, Take Me Home” was inspired by John Denver’s 1971 single Take Me Home, Country Roads and was a tribute to him. Denver's song is from his fourth studio album, Poems, Prayers, and Promises.

The two singers, along with Caskey, Yelawolf, and Travis Barker penned the lyrics to Lonely Roads.

Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll collaborated on stage last month at the CMA Fest’s Spotify House. During the fest, they sang duets of the MGK's My Ex’s Best Friend and Jelly Roll's Need A Favor.

Jelly Roll collaborated with his “childhood hero” Eminem on his final track Somebody Save Me from his new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace).

MGK released the deluxe Hotel Diablo alongside the single Sun To Me and partnered up with Trippie Redd for the EP Genre: Sadboy in March. He also dedicated his debut woodcraft project to Megan Fox's lost pregnancy in May.
