Impressed by the debut, MGK could not help but notice the chart performance of his first Bad Boy Records LP.

“Lace Up debuted #4 overall on the Billboard charts (fuck yeah!) Look at the progress, “Wild Boy” debuted at #98 earlier this year! Thank YOU,” MGK tweeted Wednesday (October 17). (Machine Gun Kelly’s Twitter)

In its opening week, Lace Up managed to sell over 50,000 copies.

Recently, Kelly revealed Bad Boy boss Diddy’s initial reaction to the LP.

“Honestly, man, Puff had got back from Ibiza three days prior to hearing the album,” Kells said when he appeared on “RapFix Live” this past Wednesday. “People where I’m from don’t even know what an Ibiza is; they probably think it’s like a fur coat.” With Diddy coming from the Spanish party island, he was probably in a celebratory state of mind, Kells said, and Lace Up isn’t that cheery. “I think when he heard it, his initial reaction was like, ‘Damn, why are you so angry?’ ” Machine Gun Kelly speculated. It took Diddy some time, but after absorbing the LP, which hits stores Tuesday, he began to see where the angst-filled rapper was coming from. “I ended having dinner with him the other day, and he looked at me like, ‘Yo, man, I really love the album,’ ” Kells said.
