The music world was rocked by an emotional outburst a few minutes ago, when Post Malone went on a rampage after Beyoncé won the prestigious CMA Artist of the Year award for her work in the country. The singer’s reaction, Broadcast Live, left fans and critics stunned with his raw and outraged words.
The moment of the explosion
At 10:29 AM today, during an Instagram Live broadcast following the 2025 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, 30-year-old Post Malone lost it. “Damn… I quit rap, ate Texas powder, sang country until my throat gave out—to lose the girl who once called country music ‘white shit’?!!” he exclaimed, visibly frustrated. The statement referred to an alleged comment Beyoncé made years ago, amplified by the voices and his victory with the album Cowboy Carter , which surpassed Post Malone’s recent post, Trilioni di F-1 .
Witnesses reported Malone throwing his cowboy hat to the ground, while fans during the live chat reacted with a mix of shock and support. The singer, who delved into the country genre with hits like “I Got Some Help” alongside Morgan Wallen, appeared inconsolable, stating, “I shed my blood for this, and you come from pop and take it all?”
Context of rivalry
Tensions have been mounting since the release of Beyoncé’s 2024 album, Cowboy Carter , which defied country norms, while post-Malone cemented his transition from hip-hop to the Texas genre. Beyoncé’s win at the awards, announced at 10:15 AM ET, was seen by many as validation of her reinvention, but for Malone it was a personal blow. Sources close to the award suggest he was expecting the award as a culmination of his two-year effort, especially after a grueling tour.
On social media, X erupted with mixed reactions. “The post is right, the country lived!” one fan wrote, while another defended Beyoncé: “He brought diversity, he’s just jealous.”
Reactions and impact
Malone’s outburst has sparked an online frenzy, with hashtags like #PostMalonerant and #BeyOncecma dominating trends. Critics are speculating whether it signals the end of the country’s tour or motivation for an even stronger comeback. Beyoncé has yet to comment, but her team released a brief statement: “We are honored by the recognition.” The music industry is now wondering whether this rivalry will inspire an unlikely or even fiercer confrontation.
What’s next?
With the CMA awards still ringing, Post Malone’s future in the country is in doubt. Will he bounce back from this disappointment or abandon the genre? The music world waits impatiently.
