Styles P has spoken out about veganism and clarified that just because people are vegan doesn’t mean they are automatically healthy.
The LOX rapper, who has been a proud vegan for years, took to Instagram to dispel the rumor that all vegans are healthy and said processed vegan food is detrimental to one’s health.

“With all due respect…I must say.. being plant based/vegan don’t automatically make you healthy.. and processed vegan food is also horrible for you,” Styles wrote. “Love is love and stay alert…..it’s levels and I get starting out with the processed shit but it can’t be part of your lifestyle forever.”
He added in the caption, “Just saying …. The processed flow ain’t it ….. I get using it for the transition but it’s dangerous to live the rest of your life out eating that way!!!”
Styles P has been on a health food kick for years now, having committed himself to lead a healthier lifestyle back in the 2010s when he opened his first juice shop in New York City with Jadakiss called Juices for Life. He also has his own health food store with his wife called Farmacy for Life, which offers several herbal supplements to improve physical health.
Most recently in February, Holiday Styles introduced a new plant-based, gluten-free line of peanut butter and jelly spread, made from a blend of maca protein, Irish Sea moss, and grape jelly.
“@elevenmadisonpark and @adjuastyles and myself collaborate for STYLES PB&J for @elevenmadisonhome,” he wrote on Instagram at the time. “High end & hip hop go together like PB&J .. so we figured we bring something that your house hold can enjoy!!”
The month prior, Styles P announced he’d maintained his plant-based diet for over nine years now, and toasted to his 71-pound weight loss.
“I didn’t intend to be plant based just went on a 3 week cleanse Dec 31st 2013. And never turned back,” he wrote in an Instagram post showing his 169-pound weight on the scales. “Proud of myself because at one time in my life I was 240lb Which wasn’t healthy for my height …although I’m at a scoopable weight right l now.

“I’m feeling damn great and I’m light on my feet for a vintage dude and my snuff to the light jog off game is feeling on point […] If nothing make sure you make taking care of yourself a priority this year ahead of us .. the money comes and goes .. once the health is gone it’s hard to get back or live the way you want to.”
On the music side of things, Styles announced last October that he’d be retiring as a solo artist, but not before dropping off two more solo projects for his fans. The first of those two projects, Penultimate: A Calm Wolf Is Still a Wolf, dropped at the end of January.
