Post Malone has calmed the nerves of his fans regarding his noticeable weight loss.
The heavily tattooed celebrity has refuted claims that the drop in size resulted from drug use, instead attributing it to his performance at multiple gigs and opting for a healthier lifestyle since he became a dad. The "I Like You" hitmaker became a girl dad after he and his fiancée welcomed a daughter in May 2022.
Post Malone's Weight Loss Is Attributed To His New 'Dad Life'
Malone took a break from his busy schedule of touring Europe to address the hurtful speculation around his recent change in appearance. Sharing a picture of himself posing next to a pair of combat cowboy boots, the "Better Now" singer opted to express himself with a lengthy statement that began:
"hello everybody, I hope you're having a great night. i wanted to say that i'm not doing drugs, i've had a lot of people ask me about my weight loss and i'd suppose, performance on stage. i'm having a lot of fun performing, and have never felt healthier."
He explained that he removed soda from his diet and began eating better to "be around for a long time" for his "little angel." The father-of-one then stated that he planned to give up "smokes and brews" next, which would take longer. After mentioning that he has been spending more time in the studio "working on new music," the Billboard Music Awards winner confided:
"you make my heart beat. i just wanted to say hi, and hopefully i'll be posting more on here, my brain is in a super dope place, and i'm the happiest i've been in a long time."
Malone completed the caption by reassuring those who were "having a hard time" or needed "some love that they were "loved more than" they knew, adding, "And keep f**king crushing it. goodnight nerds 4 spread love and rock on."
"Literally men stop drinking soda and eat a salad and they are skinny in a week people need to stop assuming everything is drigs [SIC]," one person defended in the comment section.
A second Instagram user commented, "so, so proud of you! you are a true legend! we love you," and a fan page gushed, "We don't deserve you. You're the bestest ever, happy to know you're happy and so excited to see you back on socials."
The American Music Awards winner's boots also left an impression on others, including actor Orlando Bloom, who wrote, "Gotta love❤️ love 🙇♀️ and those boot[s]🔥." Digital creator Aaryn Williams chimed, "You didn't have to flex your boots like that though but ok."
This would not be the first time that allegations of Malone using drugs due to his physical appearance would surface. As reported by The Blast, the rumors began after the 27-year-old record producer was seen making weird movements while performing during his Australian 'Twelve Carat tour with Red Hot Chili Peppers' in February.
This prompted insiders to disclose that the "White Iverson" hitmaker had lost the weight he previously gained for a movie role after exercising and following a strict diet. They also noted that him performing long sets of over an hour every other night had contributed to his significant weight drop.
The Envy Gaming Co-Owner Was Denied Service By A Hotel Bar In Perth, Australia
The Crocs contributor's fame meant nothing when he walked into an Australian bar as he was caught in an embarrassing situation recently. As it turned out, the multi-hyphenate got turned away from the QT hotel-owned establishment for having too many tattoos on his body.
As you may know, the "Sunflower" rapper has at least 12 drawings inked on his face, including a barbed wire across his hairline, a thin sword on his cheek, and the words "Always Tired" under his eyes. And since the bar had a strict practice that bans "face, neck, and offensive tattoos," security escorted him from the building, The Blast reported.
Recounting the incident, Malone proclaimed, "They turned me away for my tattoos. I've never really experienced anything like that." The hotel management has since offered an apology for the inconvenience, writing:
"At QT, we aim to welcome everyone and celebrate the uniqueness of each individual. QT has been recognized for this for many years. However, on Saturday night, our third-party security did not exercise the appropriate discretion, and we take full responsibility for this. We sincerely apologize to the individuals affected."
