YUNGBLUD's team is firing back after Machine Gun Kelly savagely blasted the singer in an alleged viral social media comment taking aim at his ill-fated tour.
Here's the deal ... the drama started after YUNGBLUD posted a video saying "live music has become inaccessible," part of his push for cheaper fan experiences through projects like BLUDFEST.
MGK responded with a blistering, alleged since-deleted comment accusing YUNGBLUD of canceling a tour because he "couldn’t sell tickets" while publicly blaming mental health struggles. He also mocked YUNGBLUD's ticket prices before ending the tirade with a profanity laced insult, calling him a "silver spooned preachy wanker."
Now, a rep for YUNGBLUD tells TMZ ... "Dom has not commented directly as he is so busy focusing on his sold-out North American tour and finishing his next album."
The rep adds ... "He genuinely hasn’t got time to engage in any of this but we wish MGK the very best."
The clash is especially shocking considering MGK and YUNGBLUD were once practically inseparable during the pop-punk revival era ... constantly collaborating, appearing together and running in the same Travis Barker circle.
Fans have suspected tension for years after the two noticeably stopped publicly interacting and now they're embroiled in a full-blown war of words.

Senator Tim Kaine has all sorts of advice on the probable Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce prenup ... shop around for the best place to write it, but don't dwell on it 'cause it could sink your marriage!!!
We got the Senator from Virginia Tuesday in the Capitol, and asked about our story that it might be advantageous for the soon-to-be-newlyweds to ink a prenup in Rhode Island.
Jacob's inquiring mind wanted to know if Congress should pass a federal law making the rules of the road for prenups the same in every state. Kaine, who's a Democrat, professed a somewhat Reagan-esque view, saying the feds should only pass laws when there's an issue of national importance. He also thinks states can learn from each other by comparing.
But Kaine left Jacob with some sage advice for T&T ... don't spend too much time thinking about prenups -- bad luck!!!

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, investigators say a witness told them Gabbie and her friend Kai Cordrey discussed the alleged hit as "potentially going down in Los Angeles and being made to look like a car accident."
