Post Malone sparked worries as he appeared "extremely" and "unusually" thin during his Australian tour.
Videos from Post Malone's recent show at Accor Stadium in Australia surfaced Tuesday, showing the rapper's striking weight loss that shocked the fans. There is also a clip on Twitter, which has since garnered 33.3 million views, that recorded his "bizarre movements" while performing.
Following the buzz he created, sources close to Post Malone clarified to a news outlet that fans do not need to be worried or alarmed since the 27-year-old "White Iverson" rapper is not on drugs or sick.
His dramatic weight loss, on the other hand, was reportedly part of his current strict diet after gaining some weight for a movie role. Aside from working out, Post Malone's 90-minute set in his shows since September is said to have contributed to his weight loss, as well.
His father also replied to a fan video on Instagram, writing, "Healthiest he's been in years! Mentally and physically."
Fans and the rapper's colleagues also defended Post Malone, telling the public that his "weird movements" have been part of his performances since he debuted.
One said, "Seen this dude live 4 times. He performed I fall apart just like this everytime since 2018. Every year some new clip comes out of him performing and everyone accuses him of doing hard drugs because he puts on a good show or is buzzed on beer that he drinks on stage lmao."
Imagine being so numb to artistic expression that a professional musician passionately belting lyrics to a song called “I fall apart” live causes you to think internally “wow that guy looks weird up there, why isn’t he singing it normally, I’m worried”
