Malone has since addressed the rumors and concerns, taking the stage at his recent Memphis, Tennessee show to set the record straight. “My name is Austin Richard Post, and I’m here to play you all some sโty music and get fโed up while we do it,” he began.
“People have been asking me if I’m OK or on heavy drugs. I’m not on drugs and I feel the best I’ve ever fโing felt in my whole life,” Malone added. “That’s why I can bust my ass for these shows and fall on the floor and do all that fun sโ.”
I saw the video of Post Malone addressing his drug & alcohol abuse and when he said he doesn’t use drugs the only thing that crossed my mind was that’s exactly what a drug addict would say ๐ฅด๐
