Post Malone Scores A Win In L.A. Phase Of Custody Battle
Post Malone has chalked up a small legal win in Los Angeles after his ex, Hee Sung 'Jamie' Park, filed to drop her bid for physical custody of their daughter in California. Although one phase of the custody battle is over, however, this is not the end of the road; the custody fight is expected to continue for the singer in Utah. The update comes as Post Malone continues to make headlines for his personal struggles, including a recent onstage fall that occurred days after he split from influencer Christy Lee. Post Malone's Baby Mama Drops L.A. Custody Case Malone's legal team, led by powerhouse attorney Laura Wasser, had moved to dismiss the Los Angeles case back in May before Park officially pulled the plug on her request for physical custody of their daughter. The move shifts the battle back to Utah, where Malone originally filed his own case and where things now seem to be leaning in his favor. California typically allows for higher child support payments than Utah, and Park's initial relocation there raised eyebrows. Sources tell TMZ that they believe she moved to L.A. after their late-2024 breakup to establish residency and pursue a potentially bigger financial outcome. While Malone's Utah filings are sealed, the strategy appears to be working. The Rapper Was Served Custody Papers Before Coachella Performance If you missed it, Malone's ex-fiancée filed for custody back in April and even hired a process server to deliver the paperwork to him. The Blast revealed that Park had a process server hunt down the entertainer at a high-end apartment building in Downtown Los Angeles. The handoff happened on April 18 around 1 p.m., just two days before his scheduled festival appearance. Park's custody filing sought to limit Malone's role to visitation. While she agreed to share legal custody, court documents stated that their child, known as DDP, had been living with Park full-time since their breakup in late 2024. The 'Sunflower' Hitmaker's Custody Fight Is Not His Only Legal Mess Malone's courtroom battles are stacking up fast, and custody is not the only issue he has faced. The Blast highlighted that while he is embroiled in a legal battle with Park over their daughter, another lawsuit from his past remains pending. It turns out that Martorell Law has been pursuing both the 30-year-old and his other ex, Ashlen Diaz, since 2022. The firm claims they broke a palimony agreement, a type of deal that sometimes comes into play when long-term couples split without being married. A filing from June 14, 2024, confirmed things were far from resolved. The judge pushed the hearing back by nearly two months after neither side reached a deal. "The Court learns that the settlement has not yet been finalized and therefore continues today's hearing," the docs read. The Record Producer Took A Tumble On Stage All the courtroom chaos seems to be taking a toll on the actor and possibly pushing him to slip on his sobriety. Malone took a nasty spill on stage earlier this month, and there might be more behind it than just a clumsy misstep. The Blast shared that the incident happened just days after Malone and influencer Christy Lee called it quits. While performing "Pour Me a Drink" with Blake Shelton at State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, Malone was seen holding what appeared to be a beer. Things took a turn when Malone crouched down to toast a fan near the stage. As he leaned forward, part of the platform gave way, sending the singer crashing to the ground. A clip of the moment shared on TikTok captured the audible gasp from the crowd. The poster, clearly shaken, captioned the video, "I am SO sorry, Austin. I love you! Such an amazing show." Post Malone Opened Up About Sobriety Although his recent actions say otherwise, Malone once credited fatherhood for helping him ditch the bottle. The father-of-one, who became a dad in 2022, opened up about leaving his partying days behind after the birth of his daughter. In a candid conversation with Zane Lowe, he admitted that alcohol had long been his emotional crutch, saying he once struggled to express himself without being "a little f-cked up." Still, at the time, he insisted things had changed. Malone explained, "It's a good spot now because if I'm not recording or I'm not talking to people or if I'm not doing shows, I really do drink just to have fun. It's like having a beer with my dad or my bud." Post Malone might have scored a small win in his ongoing custody fight with ex-fiancée Jamie Park, but there is still a long legal journey ahead.

Post Malone enjoys a legal victory in complicated child custody case with ex-fiancee Jamie Park
Post Malone 's ex-fiancée Hee Sung 'Jamie' Park filed to dismiss their child custody case in Los Angeles this week. The dismissal is considered a win for Post as California allows for higher payments for child support, but their legal battle is still ongoing. The rapper-turned-country star, 30, and Hee Sung welcomed their daughter in 2022. The couple split in November 2024 after their daughter turned two with Post and Park filing custody petitions in the states of Utah and California, respectively. This comes just weeks after his split from his girlfriend Christy Lee following their whirlwind romance on the heels of his baby mama breakup. The custody battle will continue in Utah, where Post filed because that is where he had been splitting 50/50 custody with his ex as a hands-on dad, per TMZ. That's where Park had been living before she moved to California at the beginning of the year. The latest update comes a little over two months since the musician submitted an emotional declaration in court in an effort to convince a Los Angeles judge to throw out his ex's custody lawsuit in California. In Park's original filing, she originally asked for joint legal custody and visitation for the rapper but she wanted primary physical custody. Back in May, the Grammy-nominated artist, whose weight loss has been a topic of discussion among fans, filed for her case to be tossed when he told the court the child's mother only filed in Los Angeles for perceived strategic advantages among the court battle. His attorney Laura Wasser pointed out to the court that the female child already has a number of essential ties to Utah. They include her nanny, pediatrician, as well as classes she's been enrolled in for music, physical education and swimming, the attorney told the court in legal docs. In Park's legal documents, submitted last month to the Los Angeles Superior Court's family law division, she refers to her and Post's daughter simply as DDP. The two-year-old's mother filed for full physical custody, but she only requested joint legal custody and is also open to giving Post visitation rights, aka 'parenting time.' Park, who reportedly split from Post near the end of 2024, alleged in her new legal documents that DDP has lived with her since November, via TMZ. Her court filing, in which she demands that her ex cover her legal costs, also revealed that their daughter was born in May 2022. As for child support, she said: 'The court may make orders for support of the children and issue an earnings assignment without further notice to either party.' Post reportedly recently submitted sealed custody documents of his own in Utah, where he keeps his primary residence, but he has yet to give a response to Park's new filing.

Is there a song of the summer yet? The internet says no
We asked kids and they were stumped Many on the internet are wondering: where is the song of the summer for 2025? In the three weeks since summer officially started, there hasn't been one track that feels like the theme song to the season. According to many articles, posts and comments on social media platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter), TikTok and Reddit, we are in a 'summer slump' for music. Often, the song of the summer feels a lot more obvious. Last year, the tracks that topped 2024's songs of the summer lists — like Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter, Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar, or I Had Some Help by Post Malone feat. Morgan Wallen — were everywhere. This year, we have … *crickets.* Music fans are taking to social media in search of the song of the summer. Many are wondering what the song will be.

In fact, many of them picked older songs from previous years. Click play to hear which songs kids are rocking with this summer ⬇️⬇️⬇️ How is the song of the summer decided?
