Post Malone is speaking out on his recent weight loss after he left fans concerned for him back in April when he walked out onto a stage appearing much slimmer than before. He says it was him simply changing up his diet as he stopped drinking soda and lost 65 pounds.

Earlier this year, Posty had fans somewhat worried about his well-being after footage of him on stage began circulating online showing the rapper looking noticeably lighter in weight. The “Congratulations” rapper had been performing at a show in Antwerp, Belgium.
After going viral over his appearance, the rapper took to his Instagram and eventually cleared things up. He essentially attributed his weight loss to just being a dad, but also affirmed that he is “not doing drugs.”

Posty said, “I wanted to say that i’m not doing drugs. I’ve had a lot of people ask me about my weight loss and i’d suppose, performance on stage. I’m having a lot of fun performing, and have never felt healthier. I guess dad life kicked in and I decided to kick soda, and start eating better so I can be around for a long time for this little angel.”
In June of 2022, the rapper announced the birth of his and his fiancée’s first child together. As he approached his first year of fatherhood, Posty added that he was also trying to cut cigarettes and beer out of his list of dirty habits.
He said, “Next up is smokes and brews, but I like to consider myself a patient man… lol! I’ve spent a bit in the studio lately working on new music, and am so excited to share it with you, thank you for your patience and support y’all. you make my heart beat.”
At the time, he had shared, “I just wanted to say hi, and hopefully i’ll be posting more on here. My brain is in a super dope place, and I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time. If you’re having a hard time or need some love, I can say that you’re loved more than you know, and keep f**king crushing it.”
Again addressing the fan concerns from back in April, Posty recently sat down with Joe Rogan on his ‘The Joe Rogan Experience‘ podcast and stated that he drop in weight from 240 pounds to 185 was really just from him quitting soda and monitoring his sugar intake.
The 28-year-old rapper said, “Soda is so bad. It’s so good, but so bad. [But if] I had a great show, and you know what, I’m feeling a little bit naughty, I’m gonna have myself a Coke on ice.” Rogan agreed that consuming junk food and sweet beverages in moderation is all good to keep up a healthy lifestyle.
Rogan added, “The problem is when people [drink soda] all day every day, your body doesn’t know what to do with that sugar because it’s so unnatural … the key to those things is every now and then, you know. Every now and then you reward yourself with a Coca-Cola and you’re like, ‘Ah, this is nice.’ Your body never gets that sugar in the wild. You get sugar in fruit. When you have a glass of sugar water, it’s pouring right into your bloodstream. Your body is like, ‘What the f**k is this?'”
