Famous Dex alarmed his fans when he nodded off during an Instagram Live session earlier this week. Those who tuned into the stream assumed he was under the influence of some kind of drug he typically raps about.
It turns out they might have a reason to be concerned. According to TMZ, Dex abuses opiates and his team is working hard to help him with his addiction.
However, Dex denied drugs were to blame for his micro nap and instead, attributed the incident to sleep deprivation.
“I always know,” he says. “Only you know — not my manager, not anybody. You know you. With that being said, I ain’t got nothing to explain. The video that’s right now going viral, that’s kind of so stupid? For one, I’m a human being and I work my ass off. And once you put overtime, overnight and then you come back home at 4 something in the morning and you decide to go live — hey. Don’t let the world trick you and be fooled.”
But something more sinister appears to be going on behind the scenes. TMZ reports someone must always be by Dex’s side to make sure he’s coherent enough to function. Someone also occasionally sleeps in Dex’s bed to ensure he’s breathing throughout the night. Subsequently, his team wants to get him the help he needs as quickly as possible.
Wack rappers killing themselves off with drugs be that new wave yall
I came here to be an asshole but that is sad… dude needs serious help if all this drug talk is true.
For my generation being a junkie is not cool. Nothing wrong with weed and beer in moderation but that’s it. Kids drugs are bad m’ok.
Dex was looking crazy as fuck nodding off on IG live with the blunt in his hand. Thats some real dopefiend shit. Of that’s “lit” then I’m good bruh
Not cool.
I know that look all too well unfortunately. This is dude is high as hell on opiates. Not a good look for a superstar or up & comer. If he doesn’t get ahold of it soon it will take over his life…#FACTS
This shit is real bruh…he even looked like he was tweaking when he was trying to explain how he drifted off. Twitching and shit. Man go get some help. Real talk.
Don’t care, dude beat the shit out of his girlfriend. He can take all the opiates he wants for all I care, he has scarred that girl for life with his bullshit.
