Post Malone finds himself in hot water with Beyoncé fans after sharing a touching tribute to Taylor Swift on Instagram.

The 28-year-old rapper posted a black-and-white Polaroid of himself with Swift to celebrate the release of his new track, fortnite, from the upcoming album Tortured Poets Department.

Along with the photo, Malone wrote a glowing caption, calling Swift a “once in a lifetime” artist.

“It’s once in a lifetime that someone like @taylorswift comes into this world,” he wrote.

“I’m impressed by your heart and mind, and I’m so honored to be asked to help you on your journey. I love you so much. Thank you, Tai.”

While many of her Instagram followers and Swift’s dedicated fanbase, Swifties, appreciated the touching post, Beyoncé’s fiercely loyal fanbase, the Beyhive, didn’t like it.

He took issue with the contradiction in the tribute, pointing out that Post Malone’s previous acknowledgment of Beyoncé lacked the same level of enthusiasm and depth.

As a result, social media was filled with criticism from their fans, demanding equal recognition and respect for both pop icons.

Fans expressed dissatisfaction over the stark difference in Post Malone’s tribute to Taylor Swift and Beyoncé after a side-by-side comparison was made on social media.

A user on X shared a side-by-side comparison of the tributes, pointing out the huge difference in length. The user commented, “I find this very interesting.”

Some suggested that Post Malone’s relationship with Taylor Swift may have been stronger, given that Swift had written two posts about him, indicating a mutual level of energy.

Others dismissed the criticism, claiming that Post Malone had not said anything negative about the singer and that a simple “I love you” still expressed admiration.

However, the original poster responded by saying, “Okay, but a full sentence would have been nice,” highlighting the perceived disparity in Malone’s tributes to his respective collaborators.
