In the candid conversation, Posty credited both his daughter and her mother for saving his life during a dark period.
“Four years ago, I was on a rough path,” he admitted. “It was terrible… Getting up, having a good cry, drinking, and then going on living your life, and then whenever you go lay down, drinking some more and having a good cry.”
Now, with those difficult days behind him, Post expressed gratitude for the journey, noting, “I don’t feel like that anymore, and it’s the most amazing thing.”
The interview comes as Post gears up to release his latest album, F-1 Trillion, set to drop on Aug. 16. The album marks a new direction for the artist, with a distinct country influence, featuring collaborations with country icons like Chris Stapleton and Dolly Parton.
On July 26, Malone released “Guy for That” with Luke Combs, which was preceded by “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen (the track reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100), and “Pour Me a Drink” with Blake Shelton.
Fans can also look forward to the music video for “Guy for That,” a project Post touched on during his interview.
With fatherhood at the forefront of his life and music, Post Malone’s latest chapter seems to be one filled with newfound clarity and purpose.
Malone has continued to make moves on the Billboard charts. His previous album, Twelve Carat Toothache, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, featuring hit singles like “One Right Now” with The Weeknd, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.
