Anyone who has ever met me knows that I'm a pretty big fan of Post Malone, meaning I am actually completely obsessed with him. I think he's totally cute (shocking, I know) and I can never get enough of his music. No, seriously, I haven't listened to anything but Post Malone since Beerbongs and Bentleys came out. It's a little ridiculous, I know.
The thing is, I know SO many people that are fans of Post Malone, but yet I still seem to hear so much hate about him on a constant basis. People on the internet, especially, can't seem to stop bagging on him for his hair, or his tattoos, or the way he must (SUPPOSEDLY) smell. Honestly, I'm pretty tired of it.
Clearly, and quite unfortunately, I don't know him personally, but then again neither do any of the people who are constantly giving him shit for things that have literally zero percent to do with him as a musical artist.
First of all, and this is true about anyone celebrity or not, but before you start to bash him on the internet, maybe think about the fact that he is a real human being. A lot of people seem to forget that celebrities really are people and can see the rude things people write about them on the internet. I'm, of course, an avid follower of his on Twitter, and when I see him tweet regarding the hate he sees all the time, it breaks my heart.
People love to make fun of the way he looks, and love, even more, to correlate that to the way he must smell, regardless of the fact they haven't even ever been within 200 feet of him. Someone went as far to make up a news story about making a fan vomit from his stench. That's literally so ridiculous. Let's just get something straight: just because someone has frizzy hair and tattoos does not mean they don't shower and that they stink. I don't even know where this weird fascination with his smell even came from. Don't people have anything better to do?
Let's not forget about his recent haircut. I was a big fan of his frizzy little man bun. I thought he wore it well and it was something not a lot of people could pull off. As usual, I heard a lot of backlash about how bad his hair was, and how it probably added to his completely horrible smell. So, he cuts his hair off, and people still can't be satisfied. All of a sudden his hair is too curly, and looks stupid, and doesn't suit him.
Moral of the story: people love to hate on people they don't know. Luckily, Post Malone seems to be handling it well.
Be nice to each other; mental health is important for celebrities too.
