Rapper and singer Post Malone recently took to Instagram to address the rampant speculation around his recent weight loss (USA Today). The 27-year-old musician, famous for hits such as “Sunflower” and “Rockstar,” assured fans that he has “never felt healthier” (Yahoo). He denied that drugs were the cause for his trimmer figure, which had led to much online chatter (New York Daily News).
Instead, Malone attributed his weight loss to the joys and responsibilities of fatherhood, stating that “dad life kicked in” and he has been making healthier choices in his diet (NME). In fact, he even revealed that he has stopped drinking soda altogether (Parade).
In his lengthy Instagram statement, Malone emphasized that he has been taking care of his mental health as well, saying that his “brain is in a super dope place” (Billboard). He spoke about the importance of prioritizing one’s well-being and urged his followers to do the same.
Despite his assurance, some fans have expressed concern over his sudden transformation, prompting him to speak out and address their worries (Q101.9). However, Malone seems to be taking it all in stride, focusing on his family, music, and of course, his health.
The Grammy-winning artist’s candid statement has received an outpouring of support and appreciation from fans and fellow celebrities alike, who have lauded him for his honesty and for prioritizing his well-being over social media pressure (TMZ). Malone’s fans are excited to see his dedication to a healthier lifestyle and are eagerly anticipating his upcoming music releases.
