Oh, come on!!
Post Malone got into a bit of hot water this week, and it wasn’t even for saying “there’s a struggle being a white rapper” in GQ.
No, the night before that interview hit the net, the Rockstar hitmaker filmed himself riding atop a Humvee mounted with giant machine gun.

He can be seen in the video shouting:
“This is how you do Vegas!”

We’re guessing he had no idea why people might find this to be in exceptional bad taste.
Multiple Twitter users had to point out to him that the strip was the site of the largest mass shooting in U.S. history just a few months ago.
After the 2017 Vegas Shooting, seems in bad taste to parade around the city with a massive gun… I guess that├óΓé¼Γäós America for ya, eh?

Seriously bro? You don├óΓé¼Γäót think seeing a civilian driving a fucking machine gun down the road in Las Vegas after what happened there is gonna scare the ever living shit out of people? GTFO. I enjoy his music but this is nonsense. Def not “how you do Vegas”.

In response, he wrote:
the gun isn’t even real y’all. i was at battlefield vegas and they gave me a ride back in the Humvee. it really has nothing to do with anything. just was having fun. never thought anyone would assume that i was being disrespectful.

honestly, never meant to offend anybody. i apologize if i did. had no bad intentions. got offered a ride in the humvee and took it. -posty

Battlefield Vegas is a shooting range for heavy weapons right outside the city. Obviously they have to drive from one place to another — but we still think seeing a random civilian mounting one of those things might be a touch terrifying.
What do YOU think??
