This is not the first time the “Emo Girl” artist has opened up about his family’s difficult history. In his 2022 documentary Life in Pink, MGK had a conversation with his daughter Casie Baker, now 15, about the events.
“It’s crazy ’cause they actually took my dad to trial at 9 years old,” he says in the documentary, per People, while reading a newspaper article about the 1968 events. “‘Cause he never took a chance to heal, all that stuff, it came out on me as I grew up.”
And the conversation clearly shifted Casie’s perspective on her father, as she noted, “I can see why my dad was so depressed, ’cause like, it kind of passed on through generations to him.”
