Juicy J’s catalog is littered with drug references — that’s no secret. But in the wake of Juice Wrld’s untimely passing, it appears the Three 6 Mafia OG is having some regrets. On Saturday (December 28), Juicy J issued an apology to anyone he may have influenced to do drugs via Twitter.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]
“If I inspired anybody to do drugs I apologize,” he wrote.
The “Stay Trippy” mastermind’s comment is a far cry from the stance on drugs he previously took. In a 2014 interview with Thrasher Skateboarding Magazine, while he was on the Never Sober Tour, he was asked if he ever felt any social responsibility when it came to the drug references in his lyrics.
“Naw, because I feel like the parents should be responsible for what happens to their kids, you know what I’m sayin?” he replied. “I mean, I do me. I don’t advise kids to do what I do. I’m just doing me. I just smoke a little weed and do a little drink.
“It’s up to the parents to watch their kids and make sure their kids aren’t doing any crazy drugs. I always blame the parents. When their kids are doing something crazy, I blame the parents. It’s not my business to raise anybody else’s kids. Mom and Dad got to do all that.”
Juice Wrld died on December 8 at Chicago’s Midway Airport. Although the official cause of death hasn’t been revealed, he reportedly took several Percocet pills before he went into a fatal seizure. Authorities who searched his private plane also discovered a bottle of codeine onboard. In February, the 21-year-old rapper admitted he was struggling with an addiction to lean.
A laundry list of musicians have lost their lives to overdoses, including Mac Miller and Lil Peep. Vic Mensa recently spoke on the epidemic and called for the Hip Hop community to step up. Perhaps Juicy J was listening.

Well, that’s honestly nice of him to say that. We live in a society where free speech has been used to defend heinous lyrics, and entertainment. I love gangster rap like ice cube and Pac, but with that said, pushing free speech has lead us down a path in which morals are low, class is non existent, and the youth are corrupted. Freaking 10 year old kids watch porn, listen to drug addicts slew shit, ect… Again, I love that kind of music. But I also wish our world was more PG rated like it was in the past. Sure, the rated R shit always existed, but it wasn’t allowed to be in front of children.
Youre from the burbs and go group to group looking for approval while talking down on the members of the team u dickride. Fake ass bozo
While you being your own done and keep them down. Which is worse. You are the fake one.
First off, I live in an inner city, right around the ghetto. Second, living in the suburbs… You diss that haha? What a jackass u are. Living in low crime, clean neighborhoods is great. Living in the ghetto sucks, but the taxes in my local suburb are some of the biggest property taxes nationwide. That’s NY for ya. And, I’m looking for approval? The fuck? No, im simply making a point that degeneracy does no good for anyone at all. Idk where u get all your retarded ass ideas from bro. Now go back to your ghetto ass shit hole of a home, that u likely rent, not own hahaha
Who lives in NY? And u dont own anything im good where the taxs are bettrr than where you live obv
Nigga, u gay as fuck, get off dudes nuts. He made good points.
One could only hope that after 12000 years of human evolution people should be able think for themselves and are smart enough to not do stupid things… but it is what it is… rap is not to blame… if you had to choose: rap being polite will smith only but at the same time all the dead and gone influenced by ‚stupid’ lyrics were alive and well… what would you rather have? On the other hand just look at the most insane lyrics of the 2019 list… you have people rhymin about dope or fat asses sittin on they faces… it is what it is. People will always love to admire stupid things. There’s alternatives… if you know where to find them. Juicy J ain’t got nuttin to worry about but he’s right a man is responsible for what he says. Aight people. Just try to stay safe.
Speaking as an addict, you are responsible for yourself. Hip Hop glorifying drugs and alcohol is not the reason for your addiction. Help yourself. Period.
Stick with the pure shit
But it’s ok to talk about guns and triple 6 shit. Stop the pandering guy. People are responsible for themselves. What are you afraid of?
Wow…a human being feels different about a subject than they did nearly 6 years ago.
Yea he just released music this year encouraging drug use but ok dummy
This like Arnold or Sly apologizing for make movies with gun violence
At this rate that will come
Y’all act like rap is the only genre that glorifies drug use! Rap is the new rock & roll and rock has always glorified that shit… Now we need to understand that drugs weren’t as available to the general public as they are today, there weren’t all these synthetic drugs AND most importantly, people weren’t as fucked up in the head as they are today! There is too much pressure in today’s societies and people don’t know how to deal with that shit. WE NEED TO TEACH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AT THE SCHOOLS!
it’s now about just rap. and not just about drugs. it’s about promoting wrong things in the culture period
it’s not* about just rap
At least rock was often subtle about its references to drugs unlike rap
reads like sarcasm to me
well lol… its not a matter of if. haha yes juicy every song you have ever released has glorified drug use and made people struggling with addiction fiend at least just a little more. (who knows about the people that got into drug use per juicy’s inspiration)
Hey there can any one send me a big fat cock pic to finger my wet tight pussy (412)9060938
we will have to see if his sorrow is genuine in any music in future.
Sipping on that sizzup my shit mane. *Been pourin up since the 7th grade*
The real headline should of been “Juicy J apologises for making music”.
how about apologizing for makin’ music that perpetuates black stereotypes………
Yea guys im sorry i got rich off encouraging yall to do drugs and treat women like garbage my bad!
No need to he a simp! Musians have been giving messages to thers songs for decades of ALL races and genres of music.
