Is Post Malone okay or do we need to be worried? Apparently some people on the internet have been wondering, and the singer addressed the rumors on Friday.
Post felt the need to explain himself after a compilation video that shows him doing strange things on stage surfaced, and many people speculated he was doing drugs and might be in need of help.
Speaking from the stage of the FedExForum in Memphis, TN, Malone said, “I'm not on drugs. "I feel the best I've ever fucking felt in my life. And that's why I can bust my ass for these shows and fucking fall on the floor and do all that fun shit. But for anybody that's concerned here, I appreciate the love and the support, but I feel fucking fantastic and I'm not doing drugs."

The singer’s photographer, Adam Degross, backed his claim of sobriety on Instagram.
"This has been one of the most fun tours we’ve been on," Adam captioned a video of the new Post clip. "No one does drugs, no one is going nuts, everything is all good. He legit blew his nose during the space ghost Bigfoot video, which there’s like 40 Minutes more footage of. We just pass the time by making funny videos. The stage is made of grates, so you can see the light shine up, he caught his foot, and played it off. Then he always makes those faces during 'Rockstar' has done it for the last 100 shows."
You heard it from Post, he says he’s fine — in fact, he’s awesome right now.
