Machine Gun Kelly Movie About Troubled Rapper Changes Title After Criticism From Mac Miller’s Brother

etcanada.com:

Machine Gun Kelly signed on to star in a movie about a troubled fictional rapper, but the title of the forthcoming film appeared to hit home with the brother of late rapper Mac Miller, who died of a drug overdose in 2018 at age 26.

According to Deadline, the movie — which had been announced with the title “Good News” — is the fictionalized story of a rapper, with the story inspired by several late rappers including Miller, Lil Peep, Juice WRLD, Pop Smoke and others.

The movie’s title, however, raised the ire of Miller’s brother, Miller McCormick, given that “Good News” is also the title of Miller’s first posthumous single.
