The story behind Post Malone’s stage name
Post Malone was born Austin Richard Post. The ambitious rapper chose his stage moniker at a young age, long before multi-platinum hits and Grammy nominations were a reality. During an interview on Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg's VH1 show, Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party, he revealed that he started calling himself Post Malone around the age of 14.
Back in 2011, during an interview with Jimmy Fallon, Malone also stated that Donal Glover also found his stage name using the Wu-Tang generator. He said that while they were putting in their names, it was funny until the time his name came, and he loved it. The pseudonym is a mix of his last name, Post, and the rest was created using an online rap name generator.
Meanwhile, he isn't the first rapper who has turned to the internet for naming help. Fellow musician Childish Gambino claimed that he, too, chose his moniker from an online generator, specifically of the Wu-Tang Clan sort.
