Dre London took to social media to claim that Republic Records and Universal Music Group are forbidding Post Malone from dropping a “BIG” album.

Posty’s longtime manager shared a photo of them on Instagram and wrote, “Our sync & energy always on a Insane level!! Album has been done!! We Ready!! But seems @republicrecords @universalmusicgroup isn’t.” He continued, “Posty fans no more need to press me anymore we did our part!! Now it’s time for the label to get the business right before we drop BIG Album! Hit them up! We been ready like u are! #DreVision #2022 It’s Time!!!”

London did not divulge other details, leaving fans to wonder why the labels are barring the release of the record.

Malone’s last full-length album dates back to 2019’s Hollywood’s Bleeding, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned him an Album of the Year nomination at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards. London initially shared in April 2021 that Malone will be dropping two albums that year, but it did not come to fruition.

Take a look at London’s post below and stay tuned for more updates.
