Earl Sweatshirt is notorious for many reasons, but unfortunately one of them is the health problems he has had to deal with over the last few years.
During a recent interview with The Guardian, the Odd Future member recalled missing a ton of shows between 2013 and 2014 due to sickness, some of which was self-inflicted.
“Some pretty bad prolonged health choices on tour,” he remembered. “In 2013, I had deathly skin and I got pneumonia; in 2014, I was reduced to 118lbs. I saw that it was about to happen again a couple of months ago and I was like: ‘No.’”
Earl Sweatshirt also says that he feels he’s more like his eight or 9-year-old self and that he is in a more “pure” state.

“Yeah, I’m closer to who I was when I was eight or nine. I’ve returned to a pure state. I’m not putting as much effort towards being some projection. Because that’s what you do when you’re a teenager. Remember how you imagine yourself? Everything when you’re a teenager is a projection. Or at least for me it was. ‘Who am I gonna be?’”
