As mentioned People’s Magazine, the “Famous” rapper went on to talk about how easy it is to become addicted to controlled substances like pills and alcohol.

The rapper said, “They said [alcohol] is the easiest thing to do, and it is the hardest thing to get rid of. It’s a slippery slope. Every celebration must drink. You have your own vices, and after a while, it becomes a daily thing. It becomes addictive.”
He also explains about pills and how a simple doctor’s prescription for a minor ailment can develop into a difficult addiction. “[Pills] can sneak up on you too,” added the “No Stylist” artist.
