Post Malone Shows Off His New Haircut During AMAs Performance

Post Malone's 2018 American Music Awards performance was literally fire! 

The "Rockstar" rapper took the AMA stage while surrounded by a circle of flames to perform two of his latest hits. Post came out the gate smoking (not literally just figuratively) in a striking metallic suit. First on his AMA tracklist was his single "Psycho," which he performed alongside Ty Dolla $ign. Post then left the circle of flames to belt out his heartbreaking track, "Better Now." 

Posty's AMA performance marked the first time the "Ball For Me" rapper has performed since chopping off his hair over the weekend. The 23-year-old rapper debuted a fresher, cleaner look on Instagram, but admitted he wasn't so sure how his fans would like it. "Had 2 big a** dreads," he captioned a photo of he smoking a cigarette while looking in the camera with his fresh haircut. "plz don't stop listening to my music," he added. 

Posty later shared additional photos of his new do, giving a better look at his oh-so-perfect curls. (You have to admit, the guy's got a nice head of hair) While Post didn't reveal why he cut off his dreads, it could be that he was in the mood for a fresh start given his string of bad luck these past few months. As previously reported, he was in 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!"
