Posted by Matt Ryan on
After winning Best Rap / Hip-Hop Album at the 2019 American Music Awards, Post Malone gave a speech with a drink in hand. *cue the nerves*
But after keeping his composure for the most part, he ended with a confusing phrase: "I love grapes."

But soon, some suggested it was a shoutout to hockey announcer Don Cherry – whose nickname is Grapes. Cherry was recently fired from his job for anti-racist remarks.

Raised in Syracuse, New York, it's not hard to believe that Posty is a hockey fan. But would he really be giving support to someone in the headlines for being anti-immigrant? See Twitter's thoughts below.
My husband says don cherry’s nickname is grapes. Maybe related to that?

@PostMalone When you said "I like grapes" were you referring to Don Cherry? 🤔 Because us Canadians love grapes too!😁
