Machine Gun Kelly New Razor Blade Guitar Slammed ... 'Promoting Self-Harm'
Machine Gun Kelly's new signature guitar is being picked apart ... with critics saying the razor blade design promotes self-harm with impressionable youth.
Schecter Guitars just released a new instrument called the Machine Gun Kelly Razor Blade and it's being universally ripped online ... with tons of folks saying it promotes, glorifies and advocates cutting.
The issue ... razor blades are often used by people who cut themselves on purpose -- and not just that, but there's a stereotype about fans of pop-punk/emo rock engaging in self-harm ... which only heightens this convo, considering Kelly's affiliation with the genres.
In light of all that ... the company's Instagram post announcing the new MGK signature guitar is being bombarded with negative comments -- with folks slamming the guitar as Schecter's worst offering ever.
In introducing the guitar at a recent gig, Machine Gun Kelly explained it's "kind of an ode to Tickets To My Downfall, the line on title track and also an ode to my 20s and all the crazy times that I had." Unfortunately, folks are calling this out as promoting cutting, even if indirectly.
Machine Gun Kelly on his signature Schecter guitar Razor Blade: "It's kind of an ode to Tickets To My Downfall, the line on title track and also an ode to my 20s and all the crazy times that I had"

MGK's heard all the noise, and now he's singing a different tune ... saying, "I'll never explain my art because art is conversational and always up for interpretation, but I will say, most of you constantly interpret it wrong."
Seems like the early negative feedback may be affecting the sale price ... Schecter originally listed the guitar for $2,169 but the price tag has already been slashed to $1,499 ... a $700 reduction.
The Razor Blade is MGK's second signature guitar from Schecter ... the first was the Machine Gun Kelly Signature Pink PT Electric Guitar, which didn't ruffle as many feathers.

Critican la nueva guitarra Razor Blade de MGK... dicen que promueve la autolesión
La nueva guitarra de Machine Gun Kelly está recibiendo críticas... dicen que el diseño de hoja de afeitar promueve la autolesión entre los jóvenes impresionables.
Schecter Guitars acaba de lanzar un nuevo instrumento llamado Machine Gun Kelly Razor Blade y está siendo duramente criticado en redes sociales. La gente comenta que promueve, glorifica y aboga por la autolesión.
Las cuchillas de afeitar son a menudo utilizadas por personas que se cortan a propósito, además, los fans del pop-punk/emo-rock en ocasiones son adolescentes que recurren a estas prácticas y el estilo musical de MGK a veces toma estos tintes.
La gente ha criticado la guitarra como la peor oferta de Schecter en toda su existencia.
En la presentación de la guitarra en un concierto reciente, Machine Gun Kelly explicó que es "una especie de oda a Tickets To My Downfall, la línea en la canción principal y también una oda a mis 20 años y todos los momentos locos que tuve". Desgraciadamente, la gente está tachando esto de promoción del corte, aunque sea indirectamente.
MGK ha escuchado el ruido y dice: "Nunca voy a explicar mi arte porque el arte es conversacional y siempre se presta a la interpretación, pero debo decir que la mayoría de ustedes lo interpretan mal constantemente".
Parece que los primeros comentarios negativos pueden estar afectando al precio de venta... Schecter originalmente había listado de la guitarra por $2.169, pero la etiqueta de precio ya ha sido rebajada a $1.499... una reducción de $700.
La Razor Blade es la segunda guitarra de MGK firmada por Schecter, la primera fue la Machine Gun Kelly Signature Pink PT Electric Guitar, que no levantó tanto revuelo.

The inferno at Tyreek Hill's mansion caused the NFL superstar's property to lose over $2 million in value ... this according to an incident report obtained by TMZ Sports.
In the docs, officials say the Southwest Ranches, Fla. residence -- which the wide receiver bought for $6.9 million in 2022 -- had an estimated value of $5.6 million before the flames ... but the blaze caused some $2.3 million in damages.
What's worse for Hill ... officials also said in the docs they believe around $1 million worth of stuff was destroyed during the incident as well.
Authorities provided a little more detail on how they believe the blaze all started ... writing in the documents that two kids at the home told them they had been playing with a lighter which they "thought was a toy and accidentally lit a toy on fire."
"They got scared," officials said, "threw the toy, and ran."
According to the report, the child who started the fire was a 4-year-old.
The report states no one was injured ... and an investigation into the blaze is now closed.
As we reported, a 911 caller initially told law enforcement of the fire at around 1:50 PM ET on Jan. 3. Hill was not present at the time it broke out ... though he did leave Dolphins practice early to tend to the matter.
Hill still managed to play in Miami's game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night despite the distraction ... and he logged 82 yards and a score in a 21-14 loss.

Los antiguos vecinos de Gypsy Rose Blanchard están siendo perseguidos por el pasado del barrio, ya que una avalancha de turistas ha llegado hasta Springfield, Missouri, para ver la casa donde la ex reclusa brutalmente asesinó a su madre, Dee Dee.
El interés por el caso se ha reavivado tras la reciente salida de Gypsy de prisión, y una vecina llamada Tonia le dice a TMZ que un montón de gente se ha detenido en medio de la carretera para tomar fotos de la casa.
Sin embargo, los turistas han tenido dificultades para encontrarla porque fue repintada de rosa a azul después del asesinato y la rampa para sillas de ruedas que Gypsy solía utilizar también ha sido eliminada.
Como resultado, le han estado pidiendo ayuda a los vecinos para encontrar la casa del crimen, aunque Tonia confesó que una vez le mintió a alguien sobre su paradero para proteger a la nueva familia que vive allí.

Mientras tanto, Thomas Pengilly añade que todo esto ha sido estresante y está convencido de que algunas personas pueden aparecer con malas intenciones, por lo que cree que la casa debería haber sido derribada.
¿Su consejo para quienes tengan la esperanza de echar un vistazo a la casa? ¡Encontrar cosas mejores que hacer con sus vidas, que revivir el trauma y el dolor!
Sam Baker también está echando humo. Le dice a TMZ que la conmoción en el barrio ha sido agravante. Incluso el tráfico se ha duplicado a tal punto que tuvo que poner en marcha un sistema de drive/one drive-out.
Ella está preocupada por sus hijos cuando juegan fuera porque la gente no está prestando atención al límite de velocidad y se detienen en medio de la carretera.
En realidad, Hábitat para la Humanidad le regaló la casa a Gypsy y a su madre, después de que DD afirmara falsamente que eran víctimas del huracán Katrina.
Mientras la comunidad se ve obligada a revivir el pasado, Gypsy se centra en el futuro con su marido Ryan, convirtiéndose en una sensación de las redes sociales y con la esperanza de promover la reforma penitenciaria con la ayuda de Kim K.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's former neighbors are being haunted by the past -- an onslaught of tourists is descending on the Springfield, MO home where she and her now ex-boyfriend slayed her mother, Dee Dee.
Interest in the case has been reignited following Gypsy's recent prison release. One neighbor, named Tonia, tells TMZ ... loads of people with out-of-state license plates are stopping in the middle of the road to take pics of the house.
However, some tourists are struggling to find it, because it was repainted from pink to blue following the murder, and the wheelchair ramp Gypsy used has been removed.
As a result, they've been asking neighbors to direct them to the right house -- but, Tonia confessed she once refused to provide details to protect the new mother/daughter duo living there.

Meanwhile, Thomas Pengilly -- another neighbor -- says the whole ordeal has been stressful, and he's convinced some people might show up with bad intentions ... saying the home should've been torn down.
His advice for others hoping to catch a glimpse of the infamous home is find better things to do in life than relive someone's trauma and pain.
Sam Baker is also fuming ... telling TMZ the commotion in the neighborhood has been aggravating, with traffic doubling on the block.
Sam's concerned for her kids playing outside 'cause people aren't paying attention to the speed limit, and also stop in the middle of the road for photos.
Habitat for Humanity actually gifted the home to Gypsy and her mother ... after DD falsely claimed they were victims of Hurricane Katrina.
While her old neighborhood is getting constant reminders of the past, Gypsy's focusing on the future with her husband Ryan, becoming a social media sensation and hoping to promote prison reform with Kim K's help.

JEANNIE MAI POSTS BIKINI THIRST TRAPS AMID DIVORCE ... Jeezy, Look Away!
Jeannie Mai is in her element ... ringing in her 45th birthday with a set of thirst traps in a gold bikini, and ya gotta imagine her estranged hubby Jeezy will take notice.
The TV host brought some much-needed heat to a snowy setting Thursday ... seductively posing outside a lakeside cabin in a metallic two-piece along with a pair of snow boots and a fur jacket.
Her caption's pretty simple ... "Cuz she can" -- an obvious declaration she's reclaiming her power after a challenging year, which saw Jeezy make the move to end their marriage.
He filed for divorce from Jeannie in September 2023 ... saying their marriage was "irretrievably broken."
Things between the estranged couple remain bitter -- with a filing obtained by TMZ in December revealing Jeannie submitted a response to Jeezy's request for a hearing to figure out a temporary custody schedule for their 1-year-old daughter Monaco.
She said his accusation she's interfering with his ability to spend time with their daughter is false -- adding in the docs she wants Jeezy to be involved in their daughter's life -- but the youngster's safety is her #1 concern.
While the pair continue to work toward the best resolution for their daughter ... Jeannie reflected on 2023 in another IG post, saying she's thankful for her resilience for guiding her through the dark times.
