Post Malone appeared for an interview with Theo Von on September 4, 2024, where while covering a variety of topics during the conversation, Malone also spoke about Young Thug. The singer described Thug as his favorite lyricist and melody maker of all time. On Von's This Past Weekend podcast, he also spoke about his latest studio album F-1 Trillion.

Post Malone said:

"Young Thug for me is my favorite lyricist and melody maker of all f*cking time. I remember when he, the first song I heard was that it was him and Peewee Longway. It's a song called Loaded... These melodies like insane..."

A netizen wrote:

"Nobody gets praised by their peers on the level that Thug gets praised… and they were doing it while he was free so it ain’t fake love..."

"Loaded is not a song I would have expected post Malone to know lmao," added a tweet.

"Just watched this and it made me so happy! ♥️," mentioned another user.

Several other netizens, however, didn't completely agree with Malone's statement and shared that calling Young Thug a lyricist is a far stretch.

"Lyricist?? i mean thug is in my top 5 but lyricist?????😭😭😭😭," a user tweeted.

"He knows his stuff but lyricist? LYRICIST????" an user added a tweet.

"Lyricist is crazy but in terms of free flow and melody I’m there with you," commented a user.
