Wild night: The incident happened after MGK had been performing at Madison Square Garden earlier in the evening before heading to Catch Steakhouse in New York with his celebrity pals
Earlier this month, MGK announced his new documentary, Life in Pink, which pulls back the curtain on his rise to fame into one of this 'generation's polarizing rock star'.
Fans get a first hand account of the Emo Girl hitmaker's upbringing, relationship with his father, life with Megan and a near-death experience with his daughter.
He shockingly reveals how he once attempted suicide while on the phone with Megan, in the documentary, which is currently available to stream on Hulu.
He recalled battling depression following the death of his father and admitted he was in a 'really, really, really dark' place one day in July of 2020.
'I wouldn't leave my room and I started getting really, really, really dark. Megan went to Bulgaria to shoot a movie and I started getting this really wild paranoia. Like, I kept getting paranoid that someone was gonna come and kill me,' he said in a clip.

Kelly described the harrowing night saying he 'just f**king snapped'. At the time, he phoned his then girlfriend, who was on location filming a movie.
'I called Megan. I was like, 'You aren't here for me.' I'm in my room and I'm, like, freaking out on her,' he said.
'Dude, I put the shotgun in my mouth. And I'm yelling on the phone and like the barrel's in my mouth,' MGK continued.
'And I go to cock the shotgun and the bullet, as it comes back up, the shell just gets jammed. Megan's like dead silent.'
MGK went on to explain that his darkest moment - along with support from Megan and his 12-year-old daughter, Cassie - helped him realize he needed to get himself together.
'I was like, I need to kick the drugs for real this time,' he told producers.
