Trivia / Post Malone

• Approval of God: Hootie & the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker gave his approval of Post's cover of "Only Wanna Be with You" recorded for Pokémon's 25th anniversary. (Also, yes, that sentence is correct; even the song's Wikipedia article acknowledges how odd the circumstance of that cover's release was.)
  @dariusrucker: "The smile in my face will not leave for a long time. This is awesome. My bro @PostMalone bringing it. Hell yes man!!!!!!!!!"
• Referenced by...: The Indian cartoon Simple Samosa, which is about Anthropomorphic Food and thus loves to use food puns whenever it can, just couldn't help but to make an episode titled "Toast Malone" featuring a rapper of the same name.
• What Could Have Been: Reportedly, Post Malone once tried out to be a member of the metalcore band Crown the Empire. One can't help but wonder how different his career would've gone had he been accepted.
  • "Feel" from Stoney was originally a duet with Rita Ora rather than Kehlani.
  • Kanye West was originally supposed to feature on "Internet" (which was itself originally called both "InstaLove" and "Fuck the Internet").
