Tiger King star Joe Exotic has made an outrageous claim from inside his prison cell as he claims he can "turn" musician Machine Gun Kelly into a homosexual.
The bizarre claim about the rapper comes as Joe spoke out on Twitter/X as he shared a photo of shirtless Machine Gun Kelly with new tattoos as Joe wrote: "A tiger and a little bit of meth I can make MGK gay." The line is thought to be a reference to the 2020 hit Netflix series Tiger King, which saw Joe become a viral sensation as Joe's former husbands Travis Maldonado and Dillon Passage were both revealed to be straight men before they entered into a same sex relationship with the infamous big cat lover.

This wasn't the only claim that Joe made towards the rapper, as he also made reference to his fiancée Megan Fox as Joe wrote: "Once you go Tiger King you'll forget about the Fox". Alongside this, he wrote across another image of the rapper with the caption: "Now that we're practically a new item. Help me get the hell out of here."
The 60-year-old star was previously sentenced to 22 years behind bars back in 2019 for a string of offences including animal abuse charges and a murder-for-hire plot and he is currently serving the lengthy sentence after being convicted of two plots to hire two separate men to kill Big Cat Rescue owner Carole Baskin, who also starred in the hit series Tiger King. The zookeeper was also accused of killing four harmless tigers and selling tiger cubs. Joe has since had one year removed from his sentencing after a federal appeals court ruled that improper sentencing guidelines were used.
The outrageous claim isn't the only bizarre statement to come from the animal print wearing Netflix star, as earlier this month he took toInstagram pleading for Kourtney Kardashian to tell her sister Kim Kardashian to get him out of "hell hole" prison. The unexpected plea for help came in the most unlikely of places as the former Netflix star commented the statement underneath a new snap Kourtney posted of her new baby Rocky.
Joe's comment which was met with over 7,700 likes, not including either of the sisters, read: "Awwww cute, also please have your sister help me get out of this hell hole." To which one fan responded: "THE TIGER KING HIMSELF." To which Joe replied: "Yeah I'm ready to film my comeback series so need @kimkardashian to push Biden to sign my pardon."
