Machine Gun Kelly painted his tongue black for the Billboard Music Awards last night, and Twitter had a lot to say.

The rapper, 31, shared a video of himself changing the color of his tongue on his Instagram Stories using some form of dye and a cotton bud.

He showed off his unusual new tongue on the red carpet with his girlfriend Megan Fox, and - let's just say - it was a look.

Needless to say, people had a lot to say about Kelly's tongue on Twitter.

One Twitter user wrote: "Whaaaaaat is going on with the zombie stare and the black tongue guy???"

A second added: "Why is his tongue black though."

A third wrote: "Machine Gun Kelly painting is tongue black is the level of extra I don't wanna be."

A fourth joked: "When your breath smells so bad that your tongue turns black."

A fifth wrote: "Ik buddy tongue ain't tar black."

Meanwhile, a sixth wrote alongside crying emoji: "who told him that would look cool."

However, the musician is no stranger to making bold fashion statements, and earlier this year, he revealed that he was wearing a drop of Fox's blood in a pendant around his neck.

Sharing a picture of the two on Valentine's Day, he wrote: "I wear your blood around my neck."

Fox shared a photo collage of Kelly that was captioned: "There goes my heart/ manifest outside of my body/ draped in the towering silhouette of a most unusually handsome boy.

"Magical and haunted/ kinetic and tortured/ ethereal and dangerous/ cosmic lawless eternal creative genius/ the journey will likely be perilous/ but there is no destination without him.

"Happy valentine's day rehab barbie."

The rapper went on to win  Top Rock Album and Top Rock Artist at the 2021 BBMAs.

Kelly also shared a video of himself showing off his awards: 

 

He had been nominated for Best Rock Song, but ultimately lost out to AJR's 'Bang!'.
