Citation amendment under "Tattoos"

There are a few assertations made which would benefit from citation under the 'tattoos' section. For example: "Post has a number of tattoos that he inked himself and has also inked tattoos on several friends and acquaintances[114], inspired by Justin Bieber. A citation is needed to support the assertation that Post Malone was inspired by Bieber, otherwise it would be speculative. Similarly, the sentences "He has tattoos on his hand and fingers of artists who have influenced him.CX is the best clan" and "In recognition of the 2nd Amendment,[115] he has a tattoo on his triceps of a snake encoiled around a rifle" both require citation for the same reasons. Jecsea (talk) 00:24, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Is describing the number and origins and meanings of his tattoos really encyclopedic content? George H. W. Bush had a tattoo, and his page doesn't even mention it. A Wikipedia page shouldn't be a fan page or a trivia collection. 69.128.140.82 (talk) 15:15, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

"Laconic vocal style"?

What does that mean? "Laconic" usually refers to a phrase that uses few words in a short and concise way to convey a broader meaning (source 1, source 2). Needs clarification imo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.228.0.192 (talk) 21:21, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Looks like the word "laconic" has been replaced with "variegated." Maybe we should edit it to say, "There is currently active debate in scholarly circles regarding Post Malone's vocal style, with critics largely divided into two camps: Laconicists, who describe his vocal style as containing few words, and Variegationists, who describe it has having multiple colors." And then we can link to the separate articles for Laconicism and Variegationism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danwillis58 (talk • contribs) 17:48, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Singer instead of rapper

@Billiekhalidfan: @Ss112: @Binksternet: @Deathawk: I know Post Malone supposed be a "rapper" but he sings more then he raps, I think it would be better to called him a singer then a rapper. The artist don't even considered himself a rapper. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 23:01, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

What do all the sources call him? Binksternet (talk) 04:53, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

@Binksternet: After I take a second look at these sources [1] [2] [3], they explicitly called him as a rapper. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 00:32, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Well, only GQ called him a "rapper", not the other 2. I looked at them. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 06:49, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

@Binksternet: It doesn't matter if those three sources call him a rapper, he's more of a singer, so can somebody here please change Post Malone's occupation to "singer, songwriter, and record producer" or "singer, rapper, songwriter, and record producer"?

 Not done. On Wikipedia The sources are what matter, not anyone's personal opinion. Best, - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 21:08, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Sources are wrong. He hasn't rapped a day in his life. It doesn't matter if you call him it. He explicitely said he is not a rapper as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.4.48 (talk) 05:13, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

I agree with SineBot. Malone specifically said that he wasn't a hip-hop artist either. In fact, he even refused to join the XXL magazine's class of 2016 because he didn't want to be labeled as a hip-hop artist. Collaborating with legitimate rap artists and using trap beats doesn't make you a rapper. This is the same reason why I don't consider Ty Dolla Sign or Kid Cudi as rappers. They are just singers. https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.39257/title.post-malone-ignored-xxl-freshman-because-he-didnt-want-to-fly-to-new-york Anfwepngrwfinre

Transition to "person"

Hello guys.

First of all, I'd like to start by saying that we should put this article under "person" template as he's not only a musical artist but an actor as well.

He's scheduled to star in a new film soon and has done voice roles. I think we should transition Post Malone to a person. Hopefully it made sense.

Please give me your opinion/thoughts on it.

Thank you

Smart Rolls-Royce?

Post's white Rolls-Royce was driving through ...

This makes it sound like nobody was responsible for the crash because the car was driving itself around town. I'm not really interested in correcting this article, but I wanted to point out that this is really sloppy grammar. Maybe someone more interested in Post Malone could try to improve it just a little bit.

I noticed it too, the wording is not ideal. It does reflect the source article though, which seems to be trying to be objective and not accuse anyone of causing an accident, and avoid suggesting or implying that Malone was necessarily the one who was driving the vehicle at the time. -- 109.76.215.105 (talk) 03:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

 Question: Hi IP, is this about changing the order of the four genres listed in the infobox? Btw, in case you have an edit request for a protected article, it's best to make use of the {{edit semi-protected}} template or use the edit request wizard. This will place the article in a special category and ensures that another user will review the request at some stage.– NJD-DE (talk) 18:15, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

 Note: Marking as answered pending IP response. The request needs to be shortened and only the relevant bits included. If it's a request to change the order of the genres in the infobox then that seems like entirely pointless to me. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:10, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Yes, this is about changing the order of the four of Post Malone's music genres in the infobox, because his music is mostly hip hop, and pop and rock on some occasions, so can you please fix that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:197:C17F:C7A0:9D04:A3C2:1559:49A0 (talk) 02:05, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Wrong information

According to Forbes Mr.Post Malone earned 85 million dollars in 2020 therefore it is plausible that his net worth is greater than 24 million Lolloflollo (talk) 06:30, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Post Malone is a "natural" type guy. He does not use deodorant, because of this, one of his former managers had quit because they couldn't take his BO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.40.207.8 (talk) 19:50, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Post Malone Article Edit Request

There are a few things about this article that needs cleaning up. First of all, the infobox says "Rapper · singer · songwriter · record producer · actor · guitarist", but the article says "American singer-songwriter, record producer, and actor", and needs to list "rapper" first like AllMusic does. Secondly, the short description thing needs to say "American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer from Texas". And thirdly, the music genres in the infobox need to say "Hip hop · pop · R&B · trap · pop rock", because Post Malone's music is mostly hip hop, and only pop on some occasions.

A) You know as well as I do that you first posted an incorrect link. B) Do you really have to ask why "... he loves his cat. Can he just fuckin' talk about his cat?" was removed from an encyclopedic article? Your query is bordering on disruptive editing. Please don't do it again. --SVTCobra 01:00, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Other Ventures - update about card game

Headlines were made recently when the company ran another (unrelated) promotion involving J.R.R. Tolkien's estate. As a part of the promotion one of the many thousands of copies of the card representing "The One Ring" was replaced with single copy in Elvish and using an alternate art style. When this card was found by a Toronto-area player there were many purchase offers, mostly from resellers. The Canadian player decided to sell to Post Malone, possibly because of his high publicity enjoyment of the game. The sale was reported as being for a stunning $2.8 million USD. Here's one of multiple news stories I saw covering the discovery & sale to Post Malone, most interested because of the involvement of the celebrity. https://www.npr.org/2023/08/03/1191841285/post-malone-bought-magic-gathering-mtg-one-ring-card-million 2600:1702:1560:A5B0:51BA:9FC2:B2FA:EB36 (talk) 07:35, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Add Post’s Height

Post is 6 feet 2 inches tall. It is often assumed he is shorter than his actual height which he confirmed in this video with TMZ Sports on their YouTube channel. Hugasoul (talk) 07:59, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I was unable to link the video, but it is at the 0:49 second mark and it is titled "Post Malone wants to honor to Stone Cold Steve Austin with a Feature & a Wresting Career" Hugasoul (talk) 08:05, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

He's not a rapper at all.

Not only he says that in Interviews, but even some reliable sources, including NPR, claims that he isn't a rapper. The only reason why other reliable sources call him a rapper is due to the fact that team behind him thinks he's rapper due to the vocals. Keep that in mind that, even though Wikipedia really needs sources, some sites don't make it truth about them claiming he's a rapper when in reality he isn't.

Also, even though Post Malone said he isn't a rapper, you added "rapper" all because of what the sources said. Post Malone cannot be a rapper, in fact there's one reliable source that he claims he's not a rapper. Here's a link: https://www.npr.org/2024/08/15/g-s1-17039/post-malone-f-1-trillion-country-hip-hop#:~:text=%E2%80%9CI'm%20not%20a%20rapper,wary%20of%20strict%20genre%20labels. But yeah, he isn't a rapper to begin with. It's like saying that Ty Dolla Sign isn't a rapper despite what everyone else thinks of that, and even reliable sources claims that he isn't a rapper at all. Just because Post Malone is a hip-hop artist, doesn't necessarily mean he has to be called a rapper. That's all. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 12:28, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Just because Post Malone himself doesn't consider himself a rapper, doesn't mean we can't include if. Especially if there are reliable sources that call him a rapper. I do get where this argument comes from. He is definitely more of a singer but we can call him a rapper too. Bowling is life (talk) 14:09, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

You only wanna call him rapper because of what the sources say. If sources didn't call him a rapper, this would’ve not happened. I get it what your sayin and it's justified given that Wikipedia needs sources since it's not a reliable source. But you gotta understand that. That stuff doesn't make it truth. You think Interviews isn't a source?Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 17:44, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Oh and BTW, outside of Post himself, for people in general, even if their not really rappers, what's the point of calling them rappers? Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 22:39, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
