Megan Fox took to Instagram on Friday to debunk rumors of an engagement between her and Machine Gun Kelly

In a new Instagram Story, the actress gave an up-close and personal look at the piece of jewelry that ultimately sparked the rumors  — which is actually a ring that reads "F--K YOU." She captioned the snapshot with a side-eye emoji.

Fans have noted that Machine Gun Kelly  -- real name Richard Colson Baker -- has worn the ring in the past.

The "Transformers" actress, 34, first sparked engagement rumors after she was spotted rocking the large ring following a New York City outing on Thursday.

In photos obtained by People magazine, Fox was seen with a large sparkler on her left ring finger — prompting rumors that the "Swing Life Away" rapper may have popped the question to Fox.

Fox and Kelly are currently in the Big Apple for "Saturday Night Live," where the 30-year-old artist is set to perform on Jan. 30.

"There’s never an attempt to control him on my end," Fox told the outlet. "It’s more that he looks to me to avoid his own self-destructive tendencies. And that’s where I'm useful because, on his own and left to his own devices, I don’t know how much interest he has in caring for himself."

Reps for Kelly and Fox did not respond to Fox News' requests for comment.
