As the world is well aware, Post Malone has not had the best of luck in the last few months. He's been a car accident, his house was almost robbed and you can't forget about his emergency plane landing in August. Post recently opened up about that terrifying experience during an interview with Billboard, saying the "sh*t was scary!"
“I’m terrified of flying in the first place, so every time I get on a flight, I always try my best to fall asleep,” he explained. “But this one…I wasn’t tired, so we got on the plane, we took off. There was a sensor malfunction up front, so we had to turn around and land again.” It was after the plane took off for the second time that Post said he and his friends “heard a big a** pop…and then sh*t started coming in from underneath the table and sh*t.” It was then that Mac said he started freaking out.
However, before he could lose it too much, Post said the flight attendant started assuring him that everything was going to be fine. He recalled her telling him they "just popped a tire" and would have to fly around for few hours until they had a low-level amount of fuel to ensure they could make a safe landing. “You know, you figured if something is gonna happen, just get it over with, like a Band-Aid or something,” he said. “But just the f**king anxiety of like, ‘This is f**ked.’ That was the worst part.”
"Looking back at it, the wing was f**ked. And I didn't know that the wing blew in half when I was f**ing [on the plane]," he added. "It's easy to [say], 'oh he's just overreacting,' [but] sh*t was scary! Okay? Tough stuff."
As previously reported, a private jet carrying Posty and his entourage —who were on their way to London from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey — was forced to make an emergency landing on August 21, after the jet's tires blew out. After the incident, which involved Post's plane circling in the air for hours to burn fuel, Post told TMZ he was beyond appreciative to be "f**king alive" and was "ready to party."
Post's scary flight incident came hours after he took the stage with Aerosmith at the 2018 MTV Music Video Awards. It was a big night for the 26-year-old rapper who walked away with one of the top awards of the evening, Song of the Year, for his smash hit "Rockstar."
