Post Malone says his daughter saved his life

PostMalone always has his daughter on his mind.

The rapper spoke about his daughter – whose name he is keeping private – and showed off her initials that he has tattooed on his forehead in an interview with CBS Sunday morning on Sunday, August 11.

Malone was asked about “Yours,” a song on his new country album F-1 trillion where the rapper turned country star imagines the two-year-old’s eventual wedding day.

“I think about it a lot,” he said Sunday morningbefore admitting that he’s “written a bunch of songs” about his only child.

Elsewhere in the interview, the “I Had Some Help” singer credited his fiancée and his daughter for turning his life around.

“It changes your life in the best way ever,” he said. “I will never forget her. If you heard her cry, you will never forget her.”

Malone, whose real name is Austin Post, said he was “on a rough road” before finding his partner. He said he had been struggling with “loneliness” and told the news program that he had been punctuating his days with long crying sessions and downing snacks. “I don’t have that feeling anymore and that’s the most amazing thing,” he said, adding that he had to “go through that dark period” to “figure out” who he is.

On Sunday morningMalone linked this dark period to the messages of love he gives to his fans during his concerts, saying it is “important” to remind people that they are loved. “Not everyone knows. There are a lot of lonely people. “I don’t want people to feel the way I felt, and I know they do,” he said.

In a 2023 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Malone said he slowed down on his drinking out of fear he wouldn’t be there for his daughter. “I don’t think I can be there for my baby, which is a new fear,” he said. “That’s why I tried to drink less, to take better care of my body.”

In that same interview, Malone called his partner the “number one mom in the f–king universe.”

At the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California earlier this year, Malone said he had a renewed bond with Tim McGraw‘s 1994 hit “Don’t Take The Girl” since becoming a father.

“I have a daughter now and she is 2 years old. This song was a hit before, but even more so now after I had her,” he shared, before launching into a cover of the tearjerker.
