The Kid Laroi has been a certified star for a few years now and he’s only 20 years old. Indeed, he burst onto the international music scene as a teen phenom, and now his fascinating rise to stardom will be chronicled in a new full-length documentary, Kids Are Growing Up: A Story About A Kid Named Laroi.
The film is set to premiere on Amazon’s Prime Video on February 29, and a trailer is out now.
A press release notes of the movie:
“Kids Are Growing Up tells the intimate story of Charlton ‘The Kid Laroi’ Howard who went from an unknown musician living in Australia to a teenage global superstar selling out his hometown arena on back-to-back nights in just three years. The film captures a unique moment in time, as Laroi enters adulthood, navigating the pressures of rapid fame, struggles with his mental health, first love, and the tragic death of his mentor — the late great Juice WRLD. Cameras began rolling before the massive success of ‘Stay’ and continue as Laroi gears up for his first world tour and studio album. As Laroi is forced to deal with problems greater than his age, he searches for what happiness truly means, and how to handle outsized expectations from the public, those closest to him, and himself.”
Everyone has their personal reasons for tuning into the Super Bowl LVIII. Of course, the avid football fanatics are locked in to see which franchise takes home the Vince Lombardi trophy. Music lovers couldn’t care less about the game. Most are dialed in for Usher’s highly anticipated Halftime Show performance.
But before that, a few notable musicians warmed the Las Vegas crowd up for its pre-game festivities. Post Malone dropped in for a gentle rendition of “America The Beautiful.” As a proud musical rockstar, Malone shed his rigid persona to bring forth the delicate essence of the hymn.
Of course, Malone added his creative touches to the traditional record, but he met the mark with his acoustic guitar in tow. Viewers at home took to X (formerly Twitter) to offer their glowing reviews of Malone’s performance.
“Ngl, that was actually better than I expected! A solid 7/10,” wrote one viewer.

Before his set, Malone shared that he was fighting back nerves. “I’m very nervous,” he said. “But excited, I’m excited. It’s just fun and super epic to be able to go out there and sing a song so many beautiful artists have sang before on this stage.”

Post Malone and Swae Lee’s hit song “Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse)” has made history by becoming the first-ever single to achieve “Double-Diamond” certification by the RIAA. The track has amassed 20x Platinum certifications and holds the most certifications ever. This accomplishment adds to Post Malone’s impressive streak, as he recently earned the title of having the most RIAA Diamond Certified Singles for any artist.
Ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, Post Malone is set to perform “America the Beautiful” during the pre-game festivities on February 11th. This performance comes after the release of his fifth studio album, “AUSTIN,” which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart.
“Post Malone and Swae Lee have officially raised the bar on what creative partnerships and infectious collaborations have the power to accomplish,” RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier said. “‘Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)’ has now been streamed or downloaded more than 20 million times in the U.S. alone, and they’ve earned the custom hardware to prove it. Congratulations Post, Swae Lee and Mercury/Republic Records for making history with the very first 2x Diamond single!”
Post Malone now boasts eight RIAA Diamond-certified records, including hits like “White Iverson,” “Congratulations (feat. Quavo),” “I Fall Apart,” “rockstar (feat. 21 Savage),” “Psycho (feat. Ty Dolla $ign),” “Better Now,” and “Circles.”
Grammy-nominated artist Post Malone is returning with Bud Light, teaming up with NFL legend Peyton Manning and UFC CEO Dana White for the brand’s Super Bowl LVIII commercial, “Easy Night Out.”
The ad follows a group of friends who summon the Bud Light Genie from a beer bottle, turning their ordinary night into a series of extraordinary adventures. Manning, White, and Malone are joining them, adding star power to the playful storyline.
“I’m here for the three-peat and stoked to be back with Bud Light for my third Super Bowl commercial,” said Post Malone. “We created something truly epic and pretty damn funny together that I know the fans will love.”
But the excitement doesn’t end there. Bud Light will kick off Super Bowl LVIII weekend in Las Vegas with ‘The Bud Light Backyard Tour Presents Zach Bryan,’ featuring Grammy-nominated country artist Zach Bryan and soul singer-songwriter Leon Bridges at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on Feb. 9. It’s an opportunity for fans to enjoy live music and the spirit of Bud Light’s “Easy Enjoyment” campaign.
So, a Post Malone-starring Bud Light Super Bowl commercial is not only a no-brainer, it might just be the highest form of art available to modern audiences (aside from this, of course).
The plot — such as it is — revolves around a “Bud Light Genie” who pops out of an ice cold bottle and immediately begins granting all sorts of over-the-top wishes, from invisibility and “Peyton Manning as a best friend” to a house party with Posty himself. And a T-rex. That was Posty’s wish.
Interestingly enough, Post Malone will also be included in the sporting festivities on Super Bowl Sunday. He’s billed to sing “America The Beautiful” — which I sort of can’t wait to hear. Let Post do the National Anthem next year, cowards. He was also recently tapped by the one and only Taylor Swift to appear on her surprise album, The Tortured Poets Department, along with Florence + The Machine (am I going to actually listen to a Taylor Swift album this year??? YIKES).

A significant portion of Post Malone’s net worth comes from his relentless touring schedule and energetic live performances.

Post Malone’s net worth isn’t solely attributed to his music. The rapper has secured endorsement deals with popular brands like Bud Light, HyperX, and Crocs, which have proven lucrative partnerships. In addition to endorsements, Posty has also ventured into the world of entrepreneurship. In 2019, he launched his line of French rosé wine, Maison No. 9. It reportedly sold out within just two days of its release.

With a diverse income stream, including music, touring, endorsements, and business ventures, Malone’s net worth is expected to grow in the coming years. As he keeps releasing chart-topping hits and selling out concerts around the globe, there is no doubt that Post Malone will remain a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
Conclusion/TLDR
In conclusion, Malone’s net worth of $50 million in 2024 is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and incredible talent. The rap-rock star has crossed genre lines, amassing fans from various backgrounds. The newly proud father is also enjoying the next phase of his life. He’s embracing fatherhood and reportedly looking forward to married life.
Earlier this month, Bonnaroo announced its 2024 lineup, headlined by Pretty Lights, Fisher, Post Malone, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Fred Again.. from Thursday, June 13, to Sunday, June 16. The festival will be staged on The Bannaroo Farm in Manchester, Tennessee, and it’s always one of music’s hottest tickets of the summer.
Is Bonnaroo 2024 Sold Out?
Good news! Tickets are still available for Bonnaroo 2024. According to the festival’s official website, there are four different ticket packages to choose from: 4-Day General Admission (starting at $435), 4-Day GA+ (starting at $695), 4-Day VIP (starting at $1,105), and 4-Day Platinum (starting at $4,155). Layaway plans are also available for each ticketing package, ranging from $25 down to $200 down.
For reference, tickets to Bonnaroo 2023 ranged from $299 to $1,250, but Bonnaroo explained the 2024 price hike in a statement last November, as excerpted below.
“Bonnaroo is incredibly important to each and every one of us who works to make it happen each year, and we know how special this experience is to you. We are proud of this community that we have built together. In the spirit of the Roo community and communication, we wanted to give you a heads up as we prepare for the annual presale.
Ticket prices are going to look different this year, and here’s why:
When you purchase your presale tickets, you’ll see a new price that includes all fees upfront — the only additions at checkout will be your chosen shipping option and your locally applicable sales tax.
For the first time in more than a decade, we’re also making a notable base price increase. This increase will still be far less than inflation over that time. The cost of producing this magical world has increased and our goal is to be as transparent with you as possible. To continue to deliver the quality experience you have to come to love and appreciate, prices need to go up just slightly.
The Farm is truly the most magical place on Earth and 2024 is going to be an incredible year. We can’t wait to see you next summer!”

February 11 is a day both sports and music fans have marked on their calendars, as that’s when Super Bowl LVIII is set to go down. There are still a couple NFL playoff match-ups left to determine who will make it to the big game, but what we do know right now is what musical artists are involved in the proceedings.
Aside from the Halftime Show, there are also a handful of pre-game performances, so let’s take a look at who’s doing what.
Who Is Performing The 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show?
This is the question with probably the most obvious answer, as we’ve known for months now that Usher will have the honor of doing the Halftime Show at this year’s Super Bowl. As many probably expected, it appears Usher’s performance will be one that looks back at his storied career, as he indicated in a recent teaser video.
Who Is Performing The 2024 Super Bowl National Anthem?
Before the players take the field, there will be three pre-game performances, it was announced on January 18. As for “The Star-Spangled Banner,” that’ll be sung by Reba McEntire.
Who Is Performing “America The Beautiful” At The 2024 Super Bowl?
Post Malone has been tapped to deliver a rendition of “America The Beautiful.”
Who Is Performing “Lift Every Voice And Sing” At The 2024 Super Bowl?
Actor/singer Andra Day will have the honor of singing “Lift Every Voice And Sing” at this year’s Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events in sports, but it’s also routinely a major moment in pop culture: The Emmys recently shared a list of the 75 most impactful TV moments of all time, and making the list were Janet Jackson’s Halftime Show and Whitney Houston’s National Anthem. The big game’s entertainment legacy will continue with this year’s match-up on February 11, and now we know who’s involved on the music side of things.
As Variety reports, at Super Bowl LVIII, Reba McEntire will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” Post Malone will perform “America The Beautiful,” and Andra Day will sing “Lift Every Voice And Sing.” They all of course join Usher, who was previously announced as the halftime performer. Also worth noting is that all those performances will be accompanied by corresponding American Sign Language performances.
Malone has a busy year ahead of him beyond the Super Bowl, as he’s set to be all over the festival circuit this summer: He’s performing at Bonnaroo, Governors Ball, Rolling Loud California, and even Stagecoach. Speaking of country music, McEntire is set to return to her role as a coach on the upcoming season of The Voice. As for Day, she’s starring in the upcoming movie The Deliverance.
