Post Malone is taking fatherhood one "really sweet" day at a time.
The Tribute to Nirvana artist, 30, recently spoke with GQ about his latest collaboration with SKIMS and shared some rare comments about his "hilarious" daughter during the conversation. The girl dad, who welcomed his 3-year-old with ex-fiancée Hee Sung "Jamie" Park in May 2022, said that when it comes to being a dad, he takes it "a day at a time."
"Kids are little s---- and they're beautiful at the same time," he told the outlet. "Being a dad, I take it a day at a time. I think it's important that way. We're learning every day. I don't know what the hell I'm doing, and neither does she. She's just figuring it out."
"It's really sweet. My house has been under construction for about two years now, and we finally just finished the main bit of it. And there's this big hallway where she can ride her bike and she has this little toy horse, and she rides up and down and just f------ giggles the whole f------ time," he continued. "It is the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced in my life. I'm pretty pumped on that. It's pretty cool. It's badass to be a dad."
The "Sunflower" rapper also shared some of his daughter's recent musical interests and the fun way that she messes with her dad.
"She loves Paw Patrol. She loves the 'Pup Pup Boogie,' " he said. "She loves Paw Patrol. She loves Pororo, it's like a Korean penguin. And they sing a bunch of great songs, and they're catchy as f---. I might steal some melodies, but probably not. I don't want to get in trouble."
"And she loves George Strait. She loves the steel guitar, which I'm pretty pumped about. But she's so funny," he added. "She has the funniest dance. And I remember... Actually, going back to the question: [Jelly Roll] was opening up [on tour] and she went out to watch Jelly and her grandparents asked her, 'Who's a better singer, Jelly Roll or your dad?' She goes, 'Jelly Roll.' And I know she's f------ with me."
"She does that all the time," he concluded. "She goes, 'I love you.' I say, 'How much?' She goes, 'A little.' I go, 'Oh, you little s---.' And then she calls me a little s---, too. It's pretty funny."
He went onto talk about his daughter's humor and how being with her is exactly where he wants to be after spending 10 years traveling for his career.
"Oh, she's f------ hilarious. It's unstoppable," he said. "She's just the most beautiful creature to ever have existed on this earth. And I can't believe that... Well, I don't deserve something like that, but it's pretty cool that's in my life."
"I think that's all you really need is just family, at the end of the day… You know I've been on the road for 10 years, and I've been doing this pretty vigorously. After 10 years, it's time to just take it easy," he continued. "And this is where you want to be. You want to be here with a little 3-year-old little squirt and just push her into the water and then she calls you a little s---."

The "Circles" rapper welcomed a daughter with ex-fiancée Hee Sung "Jamie" Park in May 2022 — just weeks after Malone told PEOPLE they were expecting. The Grammy winner did not share an official birth announcement for his daughter when she arrived. Instead, he slipped the happy news of his baby's arrival into a conversation with Howard Stern in June 2022.
A few months later, during an interview with GQ, the Crocs collaborator opened up about the challenges of balancing life on the road and fatherhood.
"It's really tough not being able to see her, but she's coming out more often now," he told the outlet. "I'm just happy to see her. But it is heartbreaking having to leave and not be able to be with her all the time."
In an August 2023 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, host Alex Cooper asked Malone what his biggest fear in life is. "I guess not being able to be there for my baby, which is a new fear," the rapper said. "That's why I tried to slow down on drinking, to take better care of my body."

Post Malone will unveil his own fashion brand next month
Post Malone is launching his own fashion brand. The Rockstar hitmaker - whose real name is Austin Richard Post - will kickstart his move into the fashion world by unveiling his Austin Post company with a Paris runway show on September 1. As reported by WWD, invitations to the event have teased a sunset timing for its Season One, but further details are being kept under wraps. Despite only just plotting his own label, he's worked with the likes of Crocs and Ugg in the past. Just this week, he unveiled a partnership with SKIMS. He said in a statement: 'I'm all about comfort and feeling good in what I wear. 'These pieces are fun, the camo especially stands out to me. I've always been into camo.' In a professional Western-themed photoshoot to promote the brand's menswear collections, Malone can be seen in a range of comfort-focused outfits debuting SKIMS' Heavyweight Fleece fabric. Founder and CCO Kim Kardashian described the partnership between SKIMS and Malone as a "perfect fit". She added: 'Post Malone truly embodies the spirit of the SKIMS Man with his effortless energy and style, which really shine through in this campaign. "This launch is a big moment for us, not only because we're expanding our menswear line, but also because we're introducing our new heavyweight fleece, which takes comfort and quality to the next level. "Having Post lead the campaign just felt like the perfect fit.' Including underwear, t-shirts and fleece separates, the new collection - which is now available to purchase - features a limited edition range of Realtree camouflage-printed styles. Post told GQ magazine: "Oh, I suppose I was a SKIMS man. In Utah, it gets very, very, very cold. And some way or another I found this comforter robe. "Whenever I went out to smoke at night, I would always put this on, and it was probably the most comfortable thing I've ever worn in my entire life. "From there, it just snowballed out of control to the point [where now] I'm naked in the woods. Well, not naked. But you can't see the underwear anyways. They're camouflage."

'KPop Demon Hunters' sing-along event races toward selling out as it hits 1,700 screens
"KPop Demon Hunters," the runaway Netflix hit of the summer, is making the rare jump from streaming to theaters. The film follows three animated K-pop stars as they perform synthy earworms and hide their true demon-slayer identities from fans, and has become the streaming giant's second most-watched movie of all time. To celebrate, Netflix is offering up the film for theatrical viewing during a two-day sing-along event Aug. 23-24. "Demon Hunters" will appear on approximately 1,700 screens across the U.S. and Canada, with over 1,000 of the shows already sold out. Cinemark, among the movie houses offering the screenings, still has seats available, but confirmed that some of their showings were "very full." Grounding the film's success is a growing fascination with the K-pop (Korean pop) genre. As streaming services like Spotify hack the artificial barriers separating one culture's hits from another's, American music fans are growing increasingly eager to dabble in international fare. K-pop, which claims a large and loyal fanbase in the U.S., slots into a burgeoning trend alongside genres like Reggaeton and Afrobeats. "Demon Hunters" creates a fictional girl group not unlike Blackpink, the multi-member hit-making machine that helped fuel America's K-pop fever. As they work to hunt demons, they're pitted against a similarly popular boy group, not unlike BTS, or the other synchronized dancing collectives that are a hallmark of the genre. The cast includes stars like Ken Jeong and Daniel Dae Kim, and the music, a success in its own right, has been steadily climbing up the charts as the film hops borders. Earlier this month, "Golden," performed by the cast, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. For a film industry hungry for a new formula for success, "Demon Hunters" may offer a telling clue to what viewers are searching for − whether from their AMC recliner, or the one in their living room.
