PERTH, AUSTRALIA: Post Malone might be one of the hottest singers in the world, but the rapper did not get any VIP treatment while out partying on the night of February 11, 2023, in Perth, Australia. The American musician and his crew reportedly were turned away from the posh rooftop bar of the QT Hotel on Murray Street due to the extensive tattoos on his face.

Malone allegedly violated the venue's stringent dress code, which forbids "face, neck, and offensive tattoos." Expressing his disbelief, Malone told The West Australian, "They turned me away for my tattoos... I've never really experienced anything like that."

Malone has a number of tattoos on his face 

Malone has numerous tattoos, including two aces of spades on the corner of his forehead, the phrase "Always Tired" under each eye, barbed wire down the length of his hairline, and a small sword on one cheek. Ironically, Malone has the words "Stay Away" inked over his brow.



 

Malone left the QT Hotel bar after being turned away and went to the adjoining 18 Knots rooftop bar, where security gave him special permission to enter. Malone reportedly interacted with fans at this venue, even buying some of them drinks, before unwinding with his gang.

Malone's latest performance worried fans

The incident comes after Malone caused a stir during his most recent Sydney performance when during a performance of his smash song 'I Fall Apart', he started twitching and awkwardly squirming. Malone can be seen jolting his arms strangely, stroking his skin, and messing with his T-shirt in a viral video of the performance. In another video, the celebrity can be seen bending forward and holding the microphone on his lips.



 

Some fans expressed their concern online, with one social media user commenting, "I really hope he's staying clean. Some movements worry me," Another user suggested, "Maybe it's like a nervous tick?" Another wrote, "Looks like he's having anxiety. I do the same thing with my shirts when I'm freaking out I hope he's okay."

Others, on the other hand, hastened to defend Malone, stating that his peculiar behaviors are nothing new and certainly not alarming. "He's always been an animated performer like this. Stop," one tweeted. 

One fan echoed the sentiment and wrote, "That's just how he performs that specific song." "If they were 'fans' they'd know this is just his live set," another user agreed.
