Post Malone doesn't seem to be coping well with his split from his girlfriend, Christy Lee.
Just days after ending things with the aspiring influencer, the singer suffered a nasty fall during a performance while seen holding alcohol.
Now, fans are questioning if Malone, who is in the middle of a nasty custody battle for his daughter, is taking his sobriety seriously.
The drama went down at the State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, where the "Sunflower" hitmaker took the stage to perform his and Blake Shelton's duet "Pour Me A Drink."
Embodying the lyrics, Malone held a red plastic cup in his hand, which was presumably filled with beer. As seen in a viral TikTok clip, the singer belted out the lyrics while walking towards an excited fan near the front of the stage.
Upon getting close, he crouched to toast the fan, who also had a cup of beer, when things took a dramatic turn. A supporting structure mounted on the stage gave way under Malone's weight, causing him to tumble.
He dived knee-first, spilling his drink in the process, and the crowd audibly gasped. Although the video didn't show the singer's state after his fall, the fan apologized for the accident in the post's caption.
"I am SO sorry, Austin," she wrote, referencing the artist's real name. "I love you! Such an amazing show [red heart emoji] @Post Malone," it read.
The viral clip sparks questions about Malone's sobriety. The "Circles" songster, who has admitted to struggling with alcohol addiction, alluded to being sober after welcoming his daughter in 2022.
As The Blast previously reported, in an interview with Zane Lowe, the 29-year-old spoke about how fatherhood inspired him to ditch his partying lifestyle. Alongside leaving that life behind, the hitmaker also confronted his weakness for alcohol.
Admitting that he used to have a "very hard time" expressing himself if he wasn't "a little f-cked up," Malone told the host his relationship with drinking had changed. In his words:
"It's a good spot now because if I'm not recording or I'm not talking to people or if I'm not doing shows, I really do drink just to have fun. It's like having a beer with my dad or my bud."
As expected, Malone's tumble has earned reactions from fans, who expressed concern over his well-being. Many wondered about his sobriety pledge, suggesting the cup of beer was responsible.
"Is he always drunk or something? Because this isn't the first video of him falling on tour? Also, this stage was built cheaply," one fan penned on social media.
Another comment read, "How many times is he going to fall on this tour? Saw a video of him slipping and falling on stage. Mess!"
A third fan accused, "I could've sworn he said after having his daughter, he was [going to] be sober," while another wondered, "He's not sober anymore?"
Malone's embarrassing performance comes just days after his breakup with girlfriend Christy Lee was confirmed.
Per TMZ, the award-winning artist has been single for a while, as they called it quits almost a month ago. It is, however, unclear what caused the split or if the exes remain amicable.
Malone and Lee began dating earlier this year, debuting their romance in March in a viral TikTok where they were spotted engaging in a steamy PDA session. They were first spotted in January enjoying a stroll in Rome before heading out to dinner at the Mascagni Hotel.
Malone and Lee's romance took off after the "Rockstar" hitmaker ended his engagement with his former ex, Hee Sung "Jamie" Park, with whom he shares his daughter.
Amid his sudden breakup, Malone is knee-deep in a custody battle with his ex, Park. As The Blast reported, the rapper's baby mother filed to change the existing custody agreement, giving him only visitation rights.
She requested full physical custody of the two-year-old but is willing to share legal custody with the award-winning artist.
Following her filing, Park took things a step further when she served Malone his papers just two days before his Coachella set.
She reportedly employed a process server who tracked him down at a luxury apartment building in Downtown Los Angeles. Malone was allegedly served inside a parking garage around 1 p.m.
