The 2021 MTV Video Music Awards took place at Brooklyn’s Barclay Center on Sunday night (September 12). Par for the course, a parade of celebrities strutted down the red carpet ahead of the ceremony as thirsty shutterbugs captured their every move.
Machine Gun Kelly and girlfriend Megan Fox were one of the many celebrity couples who attended the event. Fox was a presenter alongside Kourtney Kardashian, while her blonde boy toy was nominated for an award in the Best Alternative Video category. But before Machine Gun Kelly could get in and ultimately collect his Moon Man trophy for “My Ex’s Best Friend,” he was accosted by UFC fighter Conor McGregor.
Video of McGregor throwing a drink at MGK surfaced online not long after the incident. In the clip, McGregor tosses the drink before his security steps in to hold him back.
