Post Malone credits his daughter with changing his life "in the best way ever".

The 29-year-old rapper and his fiancée Jamie welcomed their daughter - who they have not publicly named but whose initials DDP are tattooed on his forehead - two years ago and Post says her birth was a turning point for him.

Speaking to Anthony Mason on 'CBS Sunday Morning', he said: "I'll never forget her. If you heard her cry, you'll never forget her, either! It changes your life in the best way ever. And the most beautiful thing is, she has a beautiful mom."

Explaining that he was dealing with "loneliness" four years ago, Post said: "Four years ago, I was on a rough path. It was terrible. Getting up, having a good cry, drinking and then going living your life. And then whenever you go lay down, drinking some more and having a good cry. And just like, 'I gotta wake up tomorrow and do this again.' And I don't feel like that anymore. And it's the most amazing thing. I needed to [do it] for myself, to figure who I am."

And Post also shared his special relationship with his fans, saying: "I don't want people to feel how I've felt. And I know they do. And I'm here and I'm on stage and I just want everyone to feel welcome and to feel loved. And that's the most important thing for me."

Post has previously spoken about how becoming a father helped him to curb his partying ways.

Speaking to Apple Music last year, he said: "Having a baby really put a lot into perspective, and it’s really slowed me down a lot, party-wise, going out and being crazy. I never really got time or really had the bandwidth to experience the journey to its fullest. So I guess that's what I'm trying to do now.

"I really love hanging out with my baby, hanging out with the lady, playing video games, and in my garage working on projects. That's what I love to do.”
