JAKARTA - Post Malone was sued by a songwriter from California named Tyler Armes, Wednesday, April 8. This is due to the credit being written in Circles, Malone's third single from his latest album Hollywood's Bleeding.

In his report, Armes claims he took part in making the song. To be precise, co-wrote the chords and basslines.

The lawsuit also claims that when Circles was released in August last year, Armes was already negotiating with Malone over compensation money for the song. He was offered a 5 percent royalty even though his name was still not included on the credit.

Circles is a song that is closely associated with pop rock elements and shows the courage of Posty - Malone's nickname - to get out of his comfort zone. Yes, in this song that has been named as one of the Billboard version of 2019's best released songs he sings, not rapping.

In his credit, Circles written by Louis Russell Bell, Adam King Feeney, Kaan Gunesberk, William Thomas Walsh, and Austin Richard Post is none other than the real name of Post Malone.

Armes had stated his involvement in writing Circles through his Instagram account. He tells how the song got started a year ago in a studio in Toronto and doesn't forget to thank Posty and another writer, Frank Dukes.

Armes hopes Malone will acknowledge his contribution to the song Circles. However, until this news was written, Posty was still silent.

Despite the news of the lawsuit over copyright, Posty went viral on the internet after a fan thought the rapper's attitude looked strange due to being influenced by illegal drugs. The tweet, which received more than 50,000 retweets, was immediately confirmed by Posty.

He emphasized that he was not affected by drugs or illegal drugs whatsoever. The action on stage, he said, was his way of having fun.
