"I think the first thing we all are thinking is, 'wow, I can't believe MTV trusted MGK to actually co-host something like this' and then the second thought is, 'f*ck yeah MTV for trusting MGK to co-host something like this!!!' The only thing I've ever hosted was parties so it looks like this year will have to be a party! AND we're nominated this year for the biggest award, there is a lot to be excited about. Lace up Woodies!" said Machine Gun Kelly.
