Post Malone made headlines on March 6, 2020, after videos of the singer from his Runaway Tour began cropping up, showing Malone engaging in some pretty bizarre behavior. One fan posted a compilation video of the “Goodbyes” artist both on stage and interacting with fans during his tour, where he “seems to be slurring his words” and even falls on stage while performing. As the user wrote on Twitter, “You can’t sit there and tell me that this is normal behavior from Post, it’s not and the man needs help before something bad happens to him. Whether it’s alcohol or drugs, he’s not using them for fun anymore, he’s abusing them. it’s too much now, people are worried.”
The compilation post went viral, and soon enough, fans from all over the globe were showing their concern with the hashtag, #HelpPost, and even began a Change.org petition titled “Help Post Malone and his Addiction.” At the time of this writing, the petition already has more than 800 signatures.
The news surrounding Malone’s behavior is definitely frightening, especially considering the number of rappers we lost in 2019. What’s worse is that Malone is aware of it, too. Speaking to GQ about all his musical peers that have passed away, including Mac Miller, Lil Peep, and Juice WRLD, the “Sunflower” artist revealed, “That could have been me.”
