Shade is thrown no matter who you are. And if you get to the top of your game, it's bound to happen often. Post Malone is no exception. Here's a look at some fellow musicians who can't stand Post Malone.
Post Malone announced himself to the world in 2015 with "White Iverson," a song the rapper self-released on his SoundCloud account. It racked up 17 million listens, and eventually went quintuple platinum and peaked in the top 20 of the pop chart. But not everyone was a fan.
After pointing out that Post Malone's signature catchphrase "saucin'" had been previously used by the rap duo Sauce Twinz, Nashville rapper Starlito told Hip Hop DX that he felt "White Iverson" was cultural appropriation, right down to using the name of legendary African-American basketball star Allen Iverson.
"I thought it was a little bit exploitative. On a lot of cultural levels."
