Posty reveals he has reduced his ‘shroom dosage

Post Malone admits he is a big fan of mushrooms, but he’s cut down the level of use these days. Recently speaking to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Posty explained that ‘shrooms have been messing with his short term-memory, prompting him to slow his habit down.

“Yeah, I take shrooms,” the Texas rapper said. “I like shrooms. I like shrooms. Not as much as I used to. It’s really affected my short-term memory. Maybe it was just a stint of habitual overuse. Daily. But now I take a little bar of chocolate with my buddies, a little square chocolate and just laugh and laugh and laugh.”

Post Malone added that a buddy of his who was in the military told him that ‘shrooms are being used to treat PTSD.

“I was talking to a ranger buddy of mine,” he recalled. “He was a ranger and he was saying they’re giving it to guys for PTSD and stuff. And I was like, oh that’s cool because a lot of the times, a lot of pharmaceuticals, they have negative reactions often. And it’s cool to see that they’re giving them this medicine and it’s actually working. He was saying his buddy was going through it and it really helped him a lot. I don’t know. It’s interesting because it’s improved. It has improved my view on things.”

“[I] wanted to say that i’m not doing drugs,” he wrote on Instagram stories. “[I]’ve had a lot of people ask me about my weight loss and i’d suppose, performance on stage. i’m having a lot of fun performing, and have never felt healthier. i guess dad life kicked in and i decided to kick soda, and start eating better so i can be around for a long time for this little angel.

Posty legally goes after former landlord

Post Malone is having problems with his former landlord and he is taking legal action. Per a report by Radar Online, via his company Posty Touring, the “I Like You” hit-maker is suing DK Development for failing to return part of a $400K security deposit he paid for a $26M property in Brentwood, California.

In the suit, Posty recognizes that he owes the landlord some funds for electric bills as well as a couple of days he stayed beyond the agreement. Out of the whole deposit, the rapper requests $338K. “[Defendant] is improperly withholding at least $338,419.28,” the lawsuit states.

“Defendant grossly overstated amounts of claimed damages, deducted for items that are plainly not deductible under the Lease of California law, and failed to provide supporting documentation of claimed damages for multiple requests.”
