With diamond records and a global fanbase, Post Malone seemed unstoppable. But behind the fame, he endured tragedy, scrutiny, and near-death experiences hidden beneath his success.

His rise began with 2015’s “White Iverson,” but criticism quickly followed. Branded a “culture vulture,” the backlash led Malone into heavy drinking and self-doubt. The deaths of Lil Peep and Mac Miller devastated him, both emotionally and spiritually. He honored Peep with a tattoo and described a chilling, unexplained event following Miller’s passing.

In 2018, Malone survived both a harrowing plane emergency and a car crash within weeks. Later, his former home was invaded by armed robbers. Though physically unharmed, he was shaken.

Healing began in 2022 with the birth of his daughter. Fatherhood inspired sobriety and a healthier lifestyle. In a 2024 interview, he credited his daughter and her mother with saving his life.

Now, Malone thrives not only as an artist—but as a proud, purpose-driven father.
