One concert goer tweeted a link to the video and wrote, “I’m genuinely concerned for Post Malone and his well-being right now.” While another fan wrote, “Yo, protect Post Malone man.. I’ve been seeing these videos of him performing where he’s not looking too good. Bro looks like he’s crying out for help on stage.. All I’m saying is I hope he gets the help he needs if he’s hurting. I’d hate to see anything happen to him.” Another video from the gig, showed Malone smashing a guitar on stage:
Despite the concerns, the vast majority of attendees have given Malone’s performance glowing reviews. In the wake of the performance, a Change.org petition has been created titled, “Help Post Malone and his Addiction.”

In a March 2020 interview with GQ Magazine, Malone spoke candidly about drugs and mental health. When asked about the deaths of rappers such as Lil Peep, Juice Wrld and his friend, Mac Miller, Malone simply said, “That could have been me.” Malone was asked if he was getting help for his mental health problems these days. Malone replied, “I am, now-I’m trying. It’s difficult. Through my songs, I can talk about whatever I want. But sitting here, face-to-face, it’s difficult.”
Malone spoke about Lil Peep’s November 2017 accidental drug overdose death in a September 2019 interview with Variety saying, “I remember when Peep died and there was a bunch of shaming like on social media, like, ‘Oh these kids doing all their f—ing drugs.’ At the same time you don’t know what someone is going through and you don’t know how easy it is just to get caught up in something to the point where you can’t stop. It’s not your fault.”
