An alternate version of Post Malone’s ‘rockstar’ surfaced on the Internet, which people thought was a remix that featured T-Pain and Joey Bada$$. But little did we know that the version with T-Pain and Joey Bada$$ was the original version. 

T-Pain first spoke out about the leaked version of ‘rockstar’ when a fan tweeted him about it. T-Pain didn’t go into detail about why he and Joey were swapped out of the song but Joey Bada$$ did go on to Twitter to confirm T-Pain’s comment.

In an interview with Billboard, Post Malone talked about Joey Bada$$ being in the studio during the recording of the song but never went into detail about the extent of Joey’s contribution to the song.
