Country music star Tim McGraw is part of a new collaboration with a musician nobody really expected.
Post Malone, the rapper dabbling in the country genre with his soon-to-be-released new album, F-1 Trillion, announced that one of the songs will feature McGraw.
Malone made the announcement on Instagram, revealing that the three-time Grammy Award-winning star will join him on the single “Wrong Ones.”
F-1 Trillion is set to be released on August 16th.
Let’s just say, not everyone is a fan of McGraw teaming up with a rapper.

Post Malone Teaming Up With Tim McGraw
The latest collaboration between Post Malone and a legendary country star is getting some blowback on social media.
Perhaps because the “Chemical” singer is using bonafide country stars to bolster his own efforts. And perhaps because he’s doing it too often at this point.
Malone’s collaboration with country star Morgan Wallen, “I Had Some Help”, is a solid summer hit, for sure. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 and sits at number 2 after being on the chart for 12 weeks.
He followed that up with “Pour Me a Drink”, a duet with country legend Blake Shelton, which is catchy but a little weaker due to the comedic shtick in the lyrics.
Malone recently performed at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe with the likes of Lainey Wilson.
“Bro is collecting country singers like infinity stones,” one fan wrote on Malone’s Instagram post.

Everybody’s Doing The Country Thing
You get a sense of a little bit of backlash to the Post Malone country collabs, none of which was directed at McGraw, really.
People are interested in hearing him do a country song on his own.
“As much as I LOVE all the collab, I’m really hoping for a Posty-only country song. And if we’re REAALLLYYY lucky, a whole album!” one fan replied.
“He’s overdoing the country stuff it feels forced now,” another added.
It seems like everybody nowadays is trying to get into the country scene. And it’s turning out to be very lucrative for some.
Beyoncé earlier this year made history with her latest album release, the country music-inspired Cowboy Carter.
The album hit number one on the Billboard Top Country Album chart and the Billboard 200 for music overall right out of the gate.
Post Malone is at least producing music with some level of country talent.
