Wayne really the only one That was a mystery to me . He was onstage goin nuts by himself but also very serious opioid addiction. Lotta dudes are not that energetic and have a crew onstage to make up for the lack of star power

I forgot about this. Trab was definately a heavy user back in the days. Dude literally looks like a pill

They tolerance be so high they can hide it

I think that’s how juice got by

Also Uzi and Thug aren’t the best examples, both kinda look like addicts. Carti has objectively looked worse since he dyed his hair blonde imo

Also this

Most rappers probably only do it on occasion or not enough to be physically addicted (thankfully)

They just rap about it a lot because d**** are so infused on our culture and it sells so you think they’re doing it more than they are

Also I’m sure you got a few that can be completely normal and hide it and you’ll never know

But I’m sure most you can either see it or it catches up to them eventually (hospitalization or death)

I wanna believe they are faking it.

S***s not healthy but its the rockstar lifestyle so its what expected, but i hope most of them are faking it.

I think Wiz is having the healthiest d*** uses, he is known to be the weed rapper but he has grown with it so well i think he mastered the art of living and smoking while maintaining work.

Honestly weed is like one of the few d**** I believe you can truly use a lot and still function

I know people like that

Ofc I don’t know them like that but I’m assuming a lot of rappers smoke on a regular basis but can still maintain good health and work ethic

We’ve already lost so many rappers due to d*** use and it’s worshipped more than ever these days. You really hate to see it

If this nigga can be a professor and father while using heroin, I don’t see why doing percs/lean semi-regularly would keep a rapper from doing their job

Its called a high functioning addict theres a lot of regular ass people who do that and work and live regular lives

wasn’t future trying to get custody of his kid with Ciara around the time he said this? Or am I tripping

op really sneaked roddy ricch in this conversation lmao

Men wear makeup too

Money

A college professor who’s job literally deals with d*** use and who’s probably educated on the different types....probably has a better understanding, tolerance, and respect in a way for these d**** than a bunch of young traumatized niggas in an industry where their trauma is exploited for money by the people around them.

I’m just guessing tho.

Carti startin to look hollow

Danny Brown going through withdrawals while on twitter was one of the hardest s***s to watch ngl.

It’s blessed to see he made it out.

Yall saying they all lying but some of these niggas be clearly tweaking

Bro jus smokes a lot of weed, gets a lil drunk to make it look like he’s not BSing, when in reality he just takes the d*** talk from everyone around him

For sure
I could’ve worded my post better, what I meant was that it’s entirely possible for someone to use hard d**** and function, which is probably how some rappers manage to have careers despite being heavy users
I wasn’t trying to imply anything negative about rappers that can’t do both

Carti never looked that bad to me, I just assumed it was his aging + hair

But that one performance on cyberwurld with the lean gut and tight shirt

It’s more sad that we never look at alcoholism like it’s a serious thing either. It’s mostly just like “we just turning up” thing but...drunk 7 days a week would be classified as a problem.

Cause it’s a loooooooooot of alcoholics in the game too. Rehab “aint gangsta” tho. Cause otherwise, we woulda been heard so and so in there a long time ago.

Look at the way travis moving his jaw
