"Bob Dylan's Unfinished Collaboration with Post Malone: A Strange Twist"
Bob Dylan reportedly gave Post Malone lyrics for an unfinished song called "Be Not Deceived," intended for a collection of Dylan-inspired tracks. Malone was moved by the lyrics and recorded about 40% of the song in March 2021, but the project stalled and Dylan's team eventually retracted the lyrics. The collaboration encountered communication issues and expectations were not managed effectively. Malone, a known Dylan fan, has previously expressed his admiration for Dylan's lyrics and has a tattoo of Dylan on his arm.
