Post Malone’s Super Bowl performance has split opinions online, with the 28-year-old’s rendition dubbed both “impressive” and “horrible.”
The rapper showed off his vocal prowess by singing “America the Beautiful,” strumming the hymn on an acoustic guitar.
The Grammy nominee donned a white shirt, blue jeans and brown corduroy jacket, as he performed for the 65,000-strong crowd.
