Post Malone has revealed how having his daughter turned his life around.

The rapper spoke about his baby girl - whose name he keeps private - and showed off her initials, DDP, which he has tattooed on his forehead.

Malone was asked in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning about the meaning behind Yours, a song on his new country album F-1 Trillion.

In the song, the rapper-turned-country star imagines his two-year-old's wedding day.

"I think about it a lot," he told the TV news show, before admitting he's "written a whole lot of songs" about his only child.

The I Had Some Help singer credited his fiancée, Jamie, and his daughter for turning his life around.

"It changes your life in the best way ever," he said.

Malone, whose real name is Austin Post, said that he was "on a rough path" before finding his partner. He shared that he was struggling with loneliness, telling the programme that he book-ended his days with long crying sessions and drank away the in-between.

"I don't feel like that anymore and that's the most amazing thing," he said.

On a 2023 episode of the podcast Call Her Daddy, Malone said he slowed his drinking down over fear that he wouldn't be around for his daughter.

"I guess not being able to be there for my baby, which is a new fear," he said. "That's why I tried to slow down on drinking, to take better care of my body."
