Machine Gun Kelly made a last-minute appearance at a Microsoft Store in Atlanta, Georgia, proceeded to get up and start dancing on the tables, jumping over computers, and generally acting like a bit of a madman, all to mixed effect.
It’s uncertain as to what kind of impact this had on shoppers, as most simply continued to shop.
Microsoft probably felt the impact most, especially since MGK stepped on about 2 or 3 of their computers, flicked off a couple of customers and said “Fuck these computers and shit, MGK’s in this bitch.”
About half way through the recorder of the incident starts chuckling gleefully, though it’s not really sure whether it’s at or with. He probably knows what’s going on isn’t at all what Microsoft intended to happen, so it’s probably the latter. Sure, you’ll notice that the crowd reaction to MGK is kind of a mixture of bewilderment and/or disinterest (they’re there to buy a computer, so maybe that’s to be expected).
At the end, MGK tried to make a brief statement (from the sound of things, he might have even tried to hint at why he acted this way), but by then MS had already gotten wise to his act and shut off the mic. MGK threw down the mic and walked away.
Make of this act what you will, but here’s some food for thought: If MS had researched this guy at all — especially his behavior at malls — they might have known he probably wouldn’t have been exactly well-behaved. Also, it was probably a wiser move for MGK business-wise: what’s going to get him more attention, doing as he’s told to at an MS store, or going crazy and tearing sh*t up at an MS store and living up to his reputation? Here’s the actual performance — see what you think.

That didn’t stop one enthusiastic guest from doing something radical.
