A hot Posty summer is upon us. Earlier this week, Texas native Post Malone announced his sixth studio album, F-1 Trillion, which will serve as his first-ever country album. Tonight (June 21), Malone has shared his new single, “Pour Me A Drink” — a fun, weekend-ready collab with Blake Shelton.
On “Pour Me A Drink,” Malone laments a draining week. Seeking a debauched night with a buddy in Blake Shelton, the two lay the ground for some good old-fashioned partying.
“Somebody pour me a drink, somebody bum me a smoke / I’m ’bout to get on a buzz, I’m ’bout to get on a roll / Yeah, I been breakin’ my back just keepin’ up with the Joneses / Y’all know what I mean, and y’all know how it goes,” sings Post on the song’s chorus.
While Post dreads the 9 to 5, it seems Shelton is mourning a different type of pain.
“Guess I really went and messed it up again / Now, my baby’s goner than the Tulsa wind / Judgin’ by the stone-sober state I’m in / Need to crack one wide open,” sings Shelton on his verse.
While the two artists may have coveted accolades to their credits, when they come together, it’s time to get the festivities rolling.

Post Malone will be heading back to the courthouse on August 1, as he is still fighting off a physical abuse lawsuit from ex-girlfriend, Ashlen Diaz. In addition to that though, the Dallas, Texas native is also dealing with the firm that Diaz recruited, Martorell Law. According to AllHipHop and The Blast, the award-winning singer technically put their relationship issues to rest but not in the most effective manner. Martorell Law alleges that Post convinced Diaz to drop them, paid her $350,000, and they also claim that she never gave them the promised cut of that money.
That $350,000 comes from the palimony agreement that the now country singer and ex put in place. They were never married, however, Diaz wanted something after splitting in 2018. So, to summarize this, Post Malone is mostly handling just the lawsuit from Martorell Law now. It seems this battle is far from over, especially based on the language from the court documents.

“The Court learns that the settlement has not yet been finalized and therefore continues today’s hearing” (June 14). As we mentioned, the Inglewood, California courthouse is pushing this back to August 1, about a month and a half away. According to AllHipHop, “Martorell Law told the court it settled the matter with Post Malone and Diaz out of court, but the negotiations deal crumbled”. Since this is still ongoing, be sure to check back with us for any further updates.

Post Malone has become a pop culture force. He got his start as a rapper in the late 2010s, but he’s managed to crossover in virtually every facet of entertainment. He has a controller emblazoned with his logo. The “Rockstar” singer made a cameo in the action remake Road House. He’s even unavoidable in commercials. And now he’s back with a brand new album for the summer. Post Malone thrilled fans by announcing the title and release date of the album on Instagram.
The rapper used a photo of a Nashville billboard to unveil the title of the album, which is F-1 Trillion. This is a play on the F-1 truck, and it follows the Post Malone convention of tweaking items or phrases to give them a new meaning. Beerbongs and Bentleys (2018) exemplifies this, as does Twelve Karat Toothache (2022). F-1 Trillion will drop on August 16th, which means fans can expect to hear a lead single sooner rather than later. The truck imagery, and the Nashville setting of the billboard, of course, suggests that Malone is going to continue to pursue a country music direction. This is a direction that he’s been going towards for the past couple months.
In November 2023, Malone told Twitch viewers he’d been recording music for a new country album. “Country album is coming,” he announced. “I keep singing a song that we made while I was in Nashville, and it’s so f*ckin’ sick, but it’s not out. We made such sick music down in Nashville. It was so much, so much fun.” The rapper also teased a country collab with Blake Shelton back in May. If any fans were in doubt that Post Malone was leaning more country, one need only look at his 2024 guest appearances. He showed up on the latest albums from Taylor Swift and Beyonce, with the latter being titled Cowboy Carter. He’s making it very clear where he’s going.
To Post Malone’s credit, he’s wanted to make country since the start of the decade. In 2021, he told iHeart Radio that his dream was to make a crossover country album. “I wanted to create something everybody can get down to,” he wrote in a statement. “People who like country will like it… People who like folk will dig it. Even people who like pop will be into it.” It may have taken the rapper longer than he expected to do it, but F-1 Trillion is now around the corner.
Since 2022, not a year has passed since Post Malone has released an album. And this year is no different. Today (June 18), the Dallas-born artist has announced his sixth studio album, F1-Trillion.
Post announced the news via Instagram, in a post featuring a billboard, with a Ford F-150 logo, featuring the title written out in numerical form.
Ahead of the album, Post has released the Morgan Wallen collaboration, “I Had Some Help.” His Instagram bio indicated that his new single, “Pour Me A Drink” arrives this Friday (June 21).
Post has remained tight-lipped about the album, however, a press release accompanying “I Had Some Help” describe the upcoming record as “Post’s first-ever full-length country album.”
It was only a matter of time before Post gave a hand to country music. After all, his pop, hip-hop, and rock resume confirm that he cannot be put in a box.
But his versatile nature is a hallmark of his artistry, as he said in an interview with Esquire last year.
“You used to get trapped in one thing and you’re like, ‘Oh, well, this is all I listen to,’ ” Malone said. “And that’s what I think has made my career so interesting, just being able to f*cking take what I like and mix it in a way that is authentic to me.”

On September 28, the Great Lawn in New York City’s Central Park will play host to the 2024 Global Citizen Festival. The event is coming into shape with the headliners announced today, June 18: Doja Cat, Post Malone, Jelly Roll, and Rauw Alejandro lead the way, while additional performers are set to be announced.
The event is set to be hosted by Hugh Jackman (a Global Citizen Ambassador), while Jane Goodall and Coldplay’s Chris Martin (the latter being the Global Citizen festival curator) are expected to appear.
There are two main ways to get tickets. There’s a general on-sale that begins today at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster, or you can earn free tickets by “taking action” through Global Citizen. More information is available on the event website.
Doja said in a statement (as Billboard notes), “It’s been a few years since I was last on the Global Citizen Festival stage in Paris, and I’m excited to join forces with Global Citizen once again in Central Park this September to drive as much action as we can to make the world a better place. We all have a part we can play to help end extreme poverty and stand up for equity. I’m looking forward to being part of this major evening of positive change.”
A statement from organizers also notes, “The hunger crisis continues to grow, infectious diseases are still spreading, debt is on the rise, and last year was the hottest on record. Meanwhile, governments everywhere are reducing their contributions to foreign aid, with more than half of G7 countries having proposed cuts this year. Despite the emerging gap between what the world needs and what seems politically possible, the plight of the world’s most vulnerable communities is more urgent than ever. This is a critical year for the global community to support frontline organizations, invest in lifesaving solutions, and act today, to save tomorrow.”
Given that Steve-O came to fame as a member of the Jackass crew, he’s known for not sying away from extreme things. Well, he’s at it again. He didn’t put himself in harm’s way this time, but his body didn’t leave the moment the same way it entered it.
Steve-O just turned 50 on June 13, and he decided he wanted to celebrate by having Post Malone tattoo a penis right on his forehead. So, that’s what he did. Steve-O announced the stunt earlier this month, saying, “If you can believe it, I’m getting my first face tattoo… but that will be the day after my birthday. Post Malone’s gonna tattoo a dick on my forehead. That’s the plan.”
As the video shows, the inking went down the weekend Post Malone headlined Bonnaroo. There were seemingly some nerves from both Malone and Steve-O, but Malone got to work, starting “with the balls,” per Steve-O’s instruction, right above the eyebrow.
In a part of the video filmed after the tattooing, Steve-O offers a more clear look at the art, and it’s a relatively detailed piece, with the work contouring to the shape of his eyebrow, complete with some strategically placed liquid droplets.
“Are you f*cking kidding me?” Post said upon seeing the figure, as shown in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by Consequence. “I literally thought that was a person. Is this real hair? Whose hair is it? Mine? That was y’all in my shower?”
While giggling, Post also asked, “Can this do my shows for me? I’d love to catch up on sleep.”
Then, Post temporarily tricked his mother into believing they took his real hair from his shower to use for the wax figure.

Last year, The Kid Laroi showed GQ the tattoo that Post Malone drew onto his thigh, and it was “a stick figure cowboy that has angel wings and is wearing clogs.” Steve-O’s entire persona is based upon upping the ante to an absurd or dangerous degree, so, of course, his purported Post Malone-drawn tattoo would blow Laroi’s out of the water.
Steve-O will turn 50 on Thursday, June 13, and he shared his celebratory plans with Page Six.
“I’m getting my first face tattoo,” the Jackass star said. “Post Malone is going to tattoo a d*ck on my forehead.
He continued, “That’s the plan. He asked, ‘Is it going to be a ch*de?’ And I don’t even know what a ch*de is!”
Of course, this is Steve-O. It is always on the board that he’s trolling everyone and has absolutely no intention to get an explicit image permanently plastered onto his forehead. But, if any two people were to do this, it would absolutely be Post Malone and Steve-O. They already have gave each other matching “Ghost Malone” tattoos in 2022, as seen in this video.
Post Malone has pushed hip-hop into some interesting directions. He got his start as a crooning rapper, but the more time passes, and the more ambitious he becomes, the harder it gets to categorize his style. We’re talking about an artist who has collabs with both Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osborne. A guy who just put out a smash single with Morgan Wallen. It should then come as no surprise that the next artist Post Malone has in mind for a collaboration is country superstar Blake Shelton.
Post Malone shared a video of the untitled collab on his Instagram. The video footage sees the artist crack open a beer and vibe out in a recording studio, while the audio gives us our first hint of what his and Shelton’s voices sound like together. Spoiler: they sound pretty good. The song has an uptempo party feel, which plays to the strengths of both artists. It falls within the wheelhouse of their lyrical focuses, which is partying and having a good time (when it’s not about being heartbroken).
“Somebody pour me a drink, somebody bum me a smoke,” Malone and Shelton sing in unison. “I’m ’bout to get on a buzz/ I’m ’bout to get on a roll. I’ve been breaking my back, just keepin’ up with the Joneses.” It’s ironic that Post Malone’s credibility with country fans has been bolstered by the likes of Wallen and Blake Shelton, given that he was one of the features on Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter album. The fact that Queen Bey felt his inclusion was warranted only speaks to his impressive blurring of genre lines.
Post Malone has been vocal about his love for country music in the past. The “White Iverson” rapper told podcast host Joe Rogan that it’s one of his favorite genres. He made a point of drawing the line between traditional country and some of the radio-friendly stuff, though.
“The whole Johnny Cash… he always sang murder ballads,” Malone noted. “It’s the old school production, it’s the old school voice. And I find a lot of the time in country now, it’s very overproduced… Whenever I’m listening to that [country], it makes me feel like I’m a hard a*s.” We’re curious to see how the artist threads the needle between this old school country and the radio-friendly music he makes.
There is no denying the star power that Post Malone possesses. No matter what genre he decides to dabble in, the Texas native always draws a crowd to anything he is attached to. Of course, fans of hip-hop and R&B were the first to discover his talents in the latter half of the 2010s decade with his breakout hit “White Iverson.” From there, he continued to evolve, and over the last year, Posty has begun to distance himself from the sound that put him on the map. This year has seen him collaborate with Beyonce for her take on country and bluegrass, COWBOY CARTER.
Now, Post Malone is trying his hand in the same playing field, but this time as the lead act on “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen. According to Genius, this is the lead single for Austin Post’s full-on country album, which does not have a release date or title. According to Billboard, this song was previewed a handful of times over the last month or so. Once on Post’s social media platforms, as well as a live performance alongside the country superstar at Stagecoach, a country music festival in Indio, CA.

These two have been friends for some time now, so even though this is a first-time collab, it makes a lot of sense. On “I Had Some Help,” they are dealing with a breakup, but in this case, the singers are throwing their ladies under the bus. While Post and Morgan are taking accountability for them splitting up with their partners, they feel that each side is to blame. Be sure to check out the relationship cut with the links above.

Quotable Lyrics:
I had some help It ain’t like I can make this kinda mess all by myself Don’t act like you ain’t help me pull that bottle off the shelf Been deep in every weekend if you couldn’t tell They say, “Teamwork makes the dream work” Hell, I had some help (Help)
