Post Malone on success, acceptance, and his new country album

He's one of the biggest pop stars in the world, yet Post Malone's new album, "F-1 Trillion," features his duets with some of the biggest names in country, including Luke Combs, Blake Shelton, Morgan Wallen and Dolly Parton. Correspondent Anthony Mason visits Malone in Nashville to talk about his acceptance among country music fans; how he dealt with being called a "one-hit wonder" following his debut with the 2015 hip hop smash "White Iverson"; and how he recovered from a downward spiral that he experienced in the midst of his success.

That's my son hugging him at the end. He's autistic and I swear Posty was so kind to him.

I pray he finds sobriety and recovery. He’s such a great person. I hope he gets there.

When you watch an interview, he is so polite. He is thankful for his success. If you don’t care for his music, watch those. You will fall in love. He just makes me smile. Sing on Mr Post Malone. We are listening.

Post Malone is the perfect example of not judging a book by its cover.

I am a 79 year old female fan of Post Malone. I have been following him since 2017 and have so appreciated his warm, polite and always respectful persona with his fans. I took my grandson to his first concert with Post Malone because I wanted to share this experience with him. I attended the second Post Malone concert for my 75th birthday. I have watched him transition from hip hop/rap to pop and now to country his true love. I think he has been undervalued as a performer in the music industry from the beginning but to his fans he is a constant joy and delight to see what he will do next. I think he is one of a kind musician that can’t be pigeonholed into a particular genre and he is doing what he loves now. Good for him.

It’s incredible to see such kindness and love. Thank you all!

Unfortunately the drinking only makes the depression worse. I don’t think there is one concert, video or interview were he isn’t drinking. So much talent & a very genuine human! Love his music!

Never judge a book by its cover.

What a good dude.

[domsan]

He looks like the world's most successful homeless person. He does have a great singing voice and I'm digging the new pop country songs. God bless him.

I have 2 heroes: my grandpa, and Posty

[viewerlogic]

He was lonely=depression. Alcohol is a depressant. You have to break that cycle.

Love or hate the guy, he is a great musician. Most people could never be as versatile as Post Malone

[brendaanne]

He is such a polite young man, and insecure people go after the ones who are polite, soft spoken, and different. Well, he has proven who is, and he is just climbing to the top. Proving to everyone who dissed him, exactly who he is. Perseverance and persistence. He just kept going. Now there is no stopping him. 💗💯🎶🎸

Post Malone had way about him ! Very warm and sincere. We all welcome him into country music open arms

[rhgamecock]

He's authentic. You can't fake that. There is an old saying that fits him - He's good people.

[agntoffury]

Just from the videos I see of post with his fans shows how much of a genuine and humble guy he is. That is why I enjoy listening to his music

[carla-GeauxTigers]

Post Malone is one of the kindest person with a genuine soul it crosses over into his music. I was introduced to his music by my then 15 year old son on his first album I’m so glad I taught my son’s to listen to all genres of music Posty is one of my favorites
