Post Malone: ‘I Have Had The Time of My Life’ Making Country Music
Post Malone scored four CMA nominations this week for “I Had Some Help,” his number-one duet with Morgan Wallen. The song is nominated for CMAs in the Song and Single of the Year categories as well as for Musical Event and Music Video of the Year.
Post has been getting to know and work with lots of country superstars this year in Nashville and his hard work paid off with the success of F-1 Trillion topping the Billboard album charts.
While he did not post a response to the CMA love on his socials this week, he did post a note to fans and friends who helped him with his project.
He wrote on Instagram recently: “Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this project. I am so honored to have worked with some of my favorite artists, writers, and friends… I have had the time of my life making this record, it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and I’m so excited for the opportunity to make it.”
He added, “Everyone keep expressing yourself, having fun, loving what you do, and loving each other. I love you more than I can say. Have a great night mofo’s, and I’ll see you soon,”
