Post Malone's chart-topping track "Rockstar" originally featured bars from Joey Bada$$ and T-Pain, but nothing from 21 Savage.
The version with Bada$$ and T-Pain leaked earlier this week, and Pain clarified that it's not a remix like some fans suspected. Bada$$ also took to Twitter to reveal he co-wrote the track with Malone and promise more "ghostwriting in 2018".
That’s the original. They took me off. And put 21 on. Me and Joey had it first
