Selena Gomez and Post Malone Team Up for ‘SNL’ Rap About Jealous Lovers
Written by SOURCE on May 16, 2022
Selena Gomez made her Saturday Night Live hosting debut this weekend, with Post Malone also making his debut as a musical guest.
The pair also joined forces for a pre-taped segment titled “Intuition,” which saw Selena and SNL cast member Chris Redd play a couple who are visited by their jealous intuitions.
When Redd takes a trip to the bodega to grab paper towel, Selena’s intuition, played by Punkie Johnson, who appears like a devil on her shoulder, proposes that Chris might be cheating. From there, she tells Gomez to stalk Redd’s social media accounts and break his Xbox, rapping, “He at that bitch’s house.”
Redd returns, only to be visited by his own jealous intuition, which is played by Post Malone. Malone insists that Selena only thought he was cheating because she was cheating. “She’s getting dude nudes,” Post croons in the refrain. “From who?” Chris asks, before Malone suggests that they’re from LeBron James.
Aside from his guest appearance alongside Gomez and Redd in “Intuition,” Post delivered a performance of his recently released single “Cooped Up,” featuring Roddy Ricch. He then returned to the stage to debut “Love/Hate Letter to Alcohol.”
Both songs are expected to appear on Malone’s fourth studio album, Twelve Carat Toothache, which is due out on June 3 and will serve as the official follow-up to the rapper’s last full-length offering, 2019’s Hollywood’s Bleeding.
