On Tuesday, the 29-year-old singer revealed Tim McGraw, 57, would be joining him on the album.
The Grammy-winning country star will sing on Malone’s new song, Wrong Ones.
Malone shared a new Instagram post to inform fans of the news.
The informative caption was accompanied by three photos of Malone holding a gun while standing in an open field.
The rapper-turned-country star showed off his slimmer figure while wearing a tucked-in button-up shirt, fitted jeans, and a backward trucker hat.
While F-1 Trillion still has a few days until its official release, the Congratulations hitmaker dropped a few songs from the album earlier this year.
He released I Had Some Help in May, which features new star Morgan Wallen, 31.
Weeks later, Malone dropped Pour Me a Drink with country legend Blake Shelton, 48.
FORCING IT?
While Malone may be dully diving into his country roots, some fans said they were sick of all the collaborations on the new album.
“Bro is collecting country singers like infinity stones,” one commented on his new post.
“Bro might as well release the album he’s dropping every other week,” a second wrote.
“As much as I LOVE all the collab, I’m really hoping for a Posty-only country song. And if we’re REAALLLYYY lucky, a whole album!” a third penned.
“He’s over doing the country stuff it feels forced now,” a fourth slammed.
Others begged for Malone to return to rap music, where he catapulted to fame in the music industry.
“Bring back trap malone,” one joked.
“When’s the rap back,” a second asked.
“I don’t get it he went from rapping and trying to thug out to trying to be a rockstar and rock out and now he’s trying to be country someone help this man he is lost for sure,” slammed a third.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Along with the release of his new album, Malone will also embark on his F-1 Trillion tour later this year.
Malone will be hitting the road with The Fools For You to promote his album.

The 21-date tour will begin in Salt Lake City, Utah, on September 8 and wrap up in Nashville, Tennessee, on October 19.
While fans have shown excitement over the upcoming dates, others were upset that the singer didn’t have any shows in Texas, where he is from.
A CHANGED MAN
The singer’s current “country era” comes as he has undergone a physical transformation over the past two years.
The celebrity has recently lost a noticeable amount of weight, which was highlighted in his I Need Some Help music video with Morgan earlier this year.
Malone, who weighed 240 pounds at his heaviest, showed off his slim figure in skintight jeans and a loose white dress shirt.
In April 2023, he opened up about his new lifestyle changes, confirming he was not using drugs and had dropped 55 pounds.
“I’ve had a lot of people ask me about my weight loss and I suppose, performance on stage,” he wrote in an Instagram post.
“I’m having a lot of fun performing, and have never felt healthier.
“I guess dad life kicked in, and I decided to kick soda and start eating better so I can be around for a long time for this little angel,” Malone added.
