“[And I was like] This is how this works.”
Post Malone has opened up about his life before fame, revealing that he was a ‘loner’ before making millions of dollars.
Since beginning his career as a rapper, singer and songwriter, Post Malone has found major who hit songs such as ‘Congratulations’, ‘Rockstar’ and even a Grammy nominated album.
He has also had success in his personal life as well, getting engaged and welcoming a daughter with his current partner back in 2022.
However, the 29-year-old rapper – real name Austin Richard Post – hasn’t always had much luck when it came to romance.
Appearing on an episode of This Past Weekend podcast with Theo Von, Malone revealed that he considered himself a loner before getting famous.
When asked by Von if he was a ladies’ man earlier on in his life the rapper was quick to respond with an ‘Absolutely not’.

Malone then went on to add he couldn’t even remember the first time that he had success with the ‘opposite sex’, joking that he’d ‘probably made a million bucks’ by that point.
“I got stood up at homecoming,” he continued. “All my crushes like…it never worked out for me.”
Despite the rejection, Malone was quick to add that it ‘worked out in the long-run’ for him as he spent most of his teenage years playing the guitar.
“And then the money came…and it was awesome,” the musician joked.
“This is how this works.”
Whether it was money, fame or personality things have clearly worked out for Malone, given the fact that he’s now engaged and a father. Little is known about the rapper’s current partner, who is named Jamie, as she tends to keep a low profile. Though it’s widely believed the couple have been in a relationship since 2020.
The rapper then went on to share further insight into the process of making music, as well as the impact of becoming famous so young.

“When you come into the whole music world so young, it’s super easy to just be a f**k up kid,” he said, adding that he’s since moved to Utah, deleted his social media platforms and focusing more on what’s ‘fun’ to him.
“I wondered for a long time why I was so sad and it was because I wasn’t able to do what I like to do in my current circumstance,” he said.
“I think it’s important for anyone… to get out and take some time for yourself. And for the longest time I didn’t.”
