Post Malone has shared some candid insights about what life was like for him before he became famous, admitting that he often felt like a ‘loner’ before earning millions.
Since he started his journey as a rapper, singer, and songwriter, Post Malone has achieved widespread success with popular songs like ‘Congratulations’, ‘Rockstar’, and even an album that earned him a Grammy nomination.
In addition to his professional success, he has found happiness in his personal life. He got engaged and welcomed a daughter with his partner in 2022.
However, the 29-year-old artist, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, did not always have good fortune when it came to dating and relationships.
During an appearance on the This Past Weekend podcast with Theo Von, Malone spoke about how he viewed himself before he gained fame. He shared that he felt like a bit of a loner back then.
When Von asked if he had been a ladies’ man earlier in life, Malone quickly responded with a definite, ‘Absolutely not’.
Malone went on to say that he couldn’t even recall when he first found success with the ‘opposite sex’, joking that by the time it happened, he had ‘probably made a million bucks’.
“I got stood up at homecoming,” he continued. “All my crushes like…it never worked out for me.”
Despite facing rejection in the past, Malone added that everything ‘worked out in the long-run’ for him, noting that he spent much of his teenage years playing the guitar, which kept him busy and passionate.
“And then the money came…and it was awesome,” the musician joked.
“This is how this works.”
Whether it was the money, fame, or simply his changing personality, things have undoubtedly turned around for Post Malone. He is now engaged and a proud father. Not much is known about his fiancée, Jamie, who prefers to stay out of the public eye, but it is widely believed that they have been together since 2020.
The rapper also talked more about his experience with making music and the effects of becoming famous at a young age.
“When you come into the whole music world so young, it’s super easy to just be a f**k up kid,” he said, adding that he’s since moved to Utah, deleted his social media platforms and focusing more on what’s ‘fun’ to him.
“I wondered for a long time why I was so sad and it was because I wasn’t able to do what I like to do in my current circumstance,” he said.
“I think it’s important for anyone… to get out and take some time for yourself. And for the longest time I didn’t.”
