Machine Gun Kelly is being praised online after he claimed that he turned down an audition for a potential role in Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ movie because the script required him to use the n-word.
“‘Sinners,’ I was supposed to be in that,” he said on The Pat McAfee Show. “The vampire, they had me set up to do the audition — it’s the one that’s in the house, so he’s the second vampire, the one that the guy comes and eats the family. In the audition, he has to say the ‘n-word’ and I wouldn’t do it.”
He continued, “I have a lot of aspirations to be in movies, it just hasn’t panned out that way,” adding, “I’m on universal timing. It’ll align. The angels will put something in the works. There’s been plenty of movies that come out that I was like, ah, I was supposed to be in that, or I did auditions for that,” he said.
