Post Malone made his debut on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series, performing four songs including "Sunflower," "Circles," and "I Fall Apart." Despite a rough voice due to his ongoing tour, Post Malone delivered an emotional and folksy performance with the help of a string quartet and backup singers. The concert showcased his latest album, Austin, which debuted at the top of the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart.
Twitter finally admitted that its Circle feature, which allows users to share tweets with a select group of followers, had a "security incident" that made supposedly private tweets accessible to outsiders. Some users were able to access sensitive or private information, including nude images not meant for people outside their group. Twitter did not explain why the issue occurred but claimed to have fixed it and is committed to protecting users' privacy. The platform has faced technical issues and polarization since Elon Musk took over, with monetization efforts leading to increased polarization and routine glitches.
Post Malone has settled a lawsuit brought forth by Tyler Armes from the Canadian rock group Down With Webster, who claimed he co-wrote the keyboard chords and guitar melody, and had 'significant input' on the bassline of what would become Circles. The settlement was announced just before the trial was about to begin. Circles became Post Malone's fourth single to top the Billboard Hot 100 singles, and it even broke the singer's own record with 34 straight weeks in the top 10. Post Malone is now getting ready to head out on the road with his Twelve Carat Tour.
Post Malone has settled a lawsuit with musician Tyler Armes, who claimed he co-wrote the hit song "Circles" during an all-night jam session in 2018 but was denied credit by the superstar. The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed, and the trial was set to begin on Tuesday. Armes sued Malone in 2020, claiming he played a key role in creating the song, which spent three weeks atop the Hot 100 and ultimately spent 61 weeks on the chart. Malone denied the allegations, arguing that Armes did not write or author any portion of the composition.
