During an episode of the “Full Send Podcast”, the singer mentioned his favorite genre of the game and said he is a great fan of Apex Legends and prefers it over similar titles like Fortnite and even Warzone and Call of Dury. He emerged in content creator’s streams from time to time to play some Apex with them.

“Fortnite never stuck out to me because I don’t want 12-year-olds cranking 90s on me and literally making me throw my monitor across the room,” Malone said in June, “I would play Warzone, and Call of Duty, I was just never a BR guy because I’m not that good at them. But something about Apex, I just started playing it and I really, really enjoyed it.” [H/T Dexerto]

In 2011, Malone began his music career and got recognized with debut single ‘White Iverson’ in 2015. It peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The songwriter is going to launch a new YouTube gaming account and all the streams would be uploaded with a donation button for people wanting to continue to help out. Recently, the singer released his album Twelve Carat Toothache.
