Post Malone Hops on Stage With Sublime To Sing ‘What I Got’ At Corporate Cancun Gig
Post Malone loves Sublime. The “I Had Some Help” singer has covered the band’s songs before and over the weekend he was at it again during the “Santeria” group’s corporate gig for Power Home Remodeling.
The annual company retreat referred to as “Quest,” found Posty casually strolling out during Sublime’s set to join them on a run through their signature 1996 hit “What I Got,” trading vocals with the band’s singer, Jakob Nowell, son of late band front man Bradley Nowell.
In a clip posted by the band Bradley is doing his thing when Malone rolls onto the stage in jeans, a flannel shirt and baseball hat rapping the iconic lines, “Well, life is too short, so love the one you got/ ‘Cause you might get run over, or you might get shot/ Never start no static, I just get it off my chest/ Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest.” The two men then join forces on the song’s chorus as Nowell strums an electric guitar and they sing “Lovin’ is what I got/ I said remember that.”
Sublime captioned the clip “take a tip from Posty.”
This isn’t the first time Malone has hit the stage with Sublime. Back in 2019, when the group was fronted by singer Rome, Posty collaborated with them on another one of their signature hits, “Santeria” during one a stop on his Dive Bar Tour. A month later, Sublime with Rome returned the favor by covering Posty’s Young Thug collab “Goodbyes.”
The mutual admiration society action continued during Malone’s 2023 tour of Australia and New Zealand, when the rapper-turned-country-crooner dipped into the tiny Danny Doolan’s Irish Pub in Auckland to sit in with the house band for a country-fied cover of “What I Got.”
