This week on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Machine Gun Kelly proved he’s got thick skin under all of those tattoos after taking to the streets in disguise to ask random passers-by their real thoughts on the "Blonde Don."

In Kimmel’s 'Machine Gun Kelly Undercover' segment, Kelly -- dressed in a tan suit and tie, glasses, and a mustache and wig -- went about town asking people what they really thought of the rapper and Pop-punk artist.
MGK said as he prepared to hit Hollywood Blvd. that he thought he looked like "the profile picture of all the people that hate me," but before long he slid right into his new man-on-the-street persona. As he plowed through, one interviewee pointedly said she wasn't a huge fan of the mainstream sellout singer, adding, "I think his new direction’s a little forced." The incognito Kelly couldn’t help but agree.

Asking another if the real MGK’s hair and bangs made him look like comedian Ellen DeGeneres, his next victim eventually admitted that she could see the resemblance, saying. “Yeah, the bangs. It’s the bangs for me.” Next up, a British tourist admitted she liked Kelly’s music, but felt the "whole blood-drinking thing" between Kelly and his flame Megan Fox was a little much. She also congratulated the couple on their recent engagement and requested they "please don’t sacrifice a goat" after the wedding.

Then a man wearing a metal t-shirt made Kelly’s day by telling him he knew it was him all along, and even explained that he once jumped off of a roof during one of Kelly’s concerts. “Oh my God you’re him?!” Kelly said surprised as footage of the actual incident was inserted. “Dude, you won MVP of that whole show,” Kelly said excitedly as he signed a copy of his new album for him.
Finally, when asked if she thought the real Machine Gun Kelly smelled bad, another mark eventually ended up getting a big whiff and giving her smiling approval as Kelly revealed his true identity to her. "Tell me right now if I smell or not," MGK said as he tore off his wig and presented his 10 out of 10 odor. Check out the full clip above!
