Your support makes all the difference.Post Malone has spoken out to reassure fans that he is not taking drugs, after many expressed concerns for his health following bizarre live shows.
The rapper, who is currently out on the second leg of his Runaway tour, was filmed stumbling across the stage, slurring his words and rolling his eyes back while performing.
After fans took to social media to say they were worried he might be taking drugs, Malone used his concert in Memphis, Tennessee to deny these claims.
“I’m not on drugs,” he told the crowd. “I feel the best I’ve ever f***ing felt in my life.
"And that’s why I can bust my ass for these shows and f***ing fall on the floor and do all that fun s***.”
He added: “But for anyone that’s concerned here, I appreciate the love and the support, but I feel f***ing fantastic and I’m not doing drugs.”
Malone made his acting debut alongside Mark Wahlberg in the Netflix film Spenser Confidential this week, which sees two former police detectives unwind a murder conspiracy.
