A private plane carrying rap star Post Malone finally made an emergency landing at Stewart Airport on Tuesday afternoon — after circling for hours to burn off fuel.

The rapper, who performed at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards on Monday night, was aboard a private jet that blew two tires at takeoff. The plane was supposed to take Malone to London.

The Gulfstream IV carrying him and 15 others blew its two left tires as it took off from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey at about 10:50 a.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The pilot began circling the airport, where emergency vehicles massed near the runway to wait for the plane to attempt to land with the damaged landing gear.

The plane then flew to the area above Stewart Airport in Orange County, New York, where it continued to circle for several hours.

Earlier reports said the plane was headed to Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport in Westfield, Mass., some 150 miles away, but it was eventually rerouted to Stewart, an FAA source told The Post.

Malone’s reps did not respond to a call and messages from The Post.

Flight tracking service flightradar24.com showed the flight circling over Stamford and Bridgeport in southern Connecticut on the Long Island Sound shortly after 1 p.m.

The plane was diverted so it could burn off more fuel for a safer possible crash landing. The jet had 3,700 gallons of fuel to burn, according to sources.

No injuries were immediately reported after the incident.

Malone, who performed at the VMA Awards with 21 Savage and Aerosmith, was scheduled to perform in England on Friday.

The Syracuse-born rapper shot to stardom with his 2015 single “White Iverson,” and has gone on to win multiple awards for his music.

He made history when his second album, “Beerbongs & Bentleys,” broke the first-week streaming record on Spotify.

Malone has worked with rappers such as 50 Cent and Kanye West and performed at Kylie Jenner’s 18th birthday bash.

His first single from the album “Rockstar” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and held the spot for eight consecutive weeks. It also won Top Rap Song at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards.
