Kim Zolciak has shared an image of herself alongside rapper Post Malone at his recent concert and fans are gobsmacked by his new appearance after shedding almost 60 pounds
Fans of Post Malone were left gobsmacked by the singer’s new look in his latest snap. The rapper, 29, posed backstage at a recent concert for a picture alongside Kim Zolciak, and she shared the image on social media.
Post whose real name is Austin Post, wore a Kenny Rogers t-shirt and blue jeans And fans were flabbergasted by the star’s changing appearance over the last year.
In the comments section on the Instagram post, in which Kim told Post to “keep inspiring the [world emoji], one follower gushed: “Who is that? Where is his weight at?!,” while another called the link-up “iconic”.
A third user speculated the musician had used Ozempic. It comes after he specifically denied using the drug earlier this year.
Ozempic is only intended to be used for the treatment of adults with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise. While some have claimed to use Ozempic in a weight-loss capacity, it is not regulated for this and should only be used to treat diabetes.
Post previously explained he had lost 60 pounds the “old-fashioned way”. At his heaviest, it’s thought he weighed 240 pounds. His admission came after Howard Stern complimented him on his weight loss. He had asked the star if he had used Ozempic, to which Post answered: “No, sir. I’m not on Ozempic.”
Opening up on his methods, the singer said: “The first step was, I remember I went on tour, and I was like, you know what, I’m going to eat. I’m getting grilled chicken. I’m going to eat carrots.
“And I’m going to have a little bit of white rice every night with buffalo sauce or hot sauce. Hot sauce has no calories in it, and I was blown away. Something good that doesn’t have calories!”
He said that after initially losing 20 pounds doing this, he just kept going. “And we just kept f–king rocking and rolling,” he said.
In a previous interview, he also confessed he wanted to become healthier for the sake of his daughter. Post welcomed a daughter with ex-fiancée Hee Sung “Jamie” Park in May 2022.
As well as his healthier eating plan, the singer said he had reduced his alcohol intake and was working on quitting tobacco products. He insisted he as never felt healthier.
Fans of the star recently admitted they are only now starting to realise why he goes by his rap name. According to the artist, he chose Post Malone as his stage name when he was 14 or 15 years old. It had been widely rumoured to have been inspired by professional basketball player Karl Malone.
However, this isn’t actually the case. He explained how he simply got Post from his surname and used an online ‘rap name generator’ to come up with Malone.
