Post admits he turned to alcohol to cope with the culture vulture and one-hit-wonder accusations he faced in the early days of his career.
During a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning, the “Sunflower” hitmaker addressed early criticism levelled at him by Hip-hop fans. Asked how he felt being branded a culture vulture, Post Malone replied, “It sucked. I was a kid.” Last year, Post Malone went viral after fans shared concerns that he was out of it during a concert. His noticeably slimmer figure sparked speculation he was using hard drugs or developed an illness. However, he explained that “dad life kicked in,” and his baby daughter spurred him to make a few lifestyle improvements.
