Post Malone ingested an interesting concoction of cigarettes mixed with water during a beer pong game with country legends Jason Aldean, Jelly Roll, and Kane Brown.
In May 2024, photos of the 29-year-old rapper and the three country singers playing beer pong at a bar in Texas went viral. Last week, Brown did an interview with CMT and revealed what happened during the game.
“I ended up being partners with Jelly Roll, and then we beat Post Malone and Aldean,” the “Miles On It” hitmaker explained. “A lot of people are like, ‘Oh, who do you think won?’ A lot of people are like, ‘Oh, it’s Post and Jelly, ’cause they play all the time.’ Wrong! Man, I was killin’ ’em! You gotta ask ’em about it, too.”

Brown then explained that they used water instead of beer during the game, and Post Malone kept his cigarettes in the furthest cup.
“It was water in the cups. It wasn’t beer. But, he [Post Malone] was dumping his cigarettes in the last cup, and the table was super long, and I was like, ‘I’m gonna hit this cup,’ and he said, ‘If you hit this cup, I’ll drink it,'” the musician recounted.
The unthinkable happened as Brown landed the shot, meaning the “Better Now” singer was forced to drink the mixture.
“I looked at Aldean in the eyes, and I looked at Post, and I said, ‘Drink up,’ and it went in, and Jason just went, ‘Oh my God,'” Brown recalled.
CMT posted the interview on their Instagram page, and fans took to the comment section to debate which artist they think is the best at the party game.
“I say Kane Brown! He’s is a great shot at basketball. I think he’d be a pretty a good shot at beer pong!” one fan commented.
“Posty is notoriously good at beer pong!” another person noted.
Someone else theorized, “I’ll say between jelly and post Malone 50/50 chance.”
“I WISHED I COULD’VE BEEN THERE! HILARIOUS,” a fourth fan gushed.
