Although Juice Wrld’s official cause of death hasn’t been confirmed, the 21-year-old reportedly swallowed several Percocet pills prior to the fatal seizure he suffered at Chicago’s Midway Airport on Sunday (December 8).
In the wake of his death, countless rappers and rap fans are speaking out and Trippie Redd is one of them. The face-tatted rapper hopped on Instagram Live over the weekend and let his 8.5 million followers know he was done with illicit drugs (unless it’s marijuana).
“We ain’t doing it no more,” he said. “Period. If ain’t weed, we ain’t doing it no more. when I saw we, I mean us as a group, us as a whole — the whole emo music. No drugs.”
In July, Juice Wrld revealed he was struggling with an addiction to lean, which is basically codeine cough syrup. He told his then-girlfriend Ally Lotti via Twitter he was committed to quitting.
“Bae I’m sorry I be tweaking, you’ve put up with more than ppl know I know I be scaring you, fuck Codeine I’m done,” he tweeted. “I love you and im letting it be known publicly that ain’t shit fucking up the real love I found. Learn from this everyone. Addiction kills all but you can overcome.”
Over the past two years, drug overdoses have been responsible for the deaths of several notable artists, including Mac Miller and Lil Peep. It appears Trippie is intent on not becoming one of them.
I dont think these artists have a choice tbh. They rap about what they are instructed to rap about, or they are out the door
They’re going to take this comment down soon lol. I said the same thing yesterday and they took mine down with a quickness
No, we didn’t.
Wowwwwww lol that got a legit response from the site, there goes your conspiracy theory
They most definitely delete comments and the fact that they responded tells you that the scroll the comments and they delete what seems to be any attack on the writers or comments that tend to make sense. I’ve seen it with my own eyes
This actually makes it more obvious that the comment section is under close scrutiny.
Nobody is deleting your weak ass comments. You’re not that special. Probably just using a bunk ass connection. Smh
There a lot of comments that do get deleted. I am curious as to what is acceptable and what crosses the line in the sand. Clearly this platform is funded by labels, but an even platform to discuss topics posted would be nice
Although I don’t believe him or the other rappers, more power to those that are sincere.
See you soon my child ?
Definitely. Leave those non-weed drugs alone. Alcohol abuse too! Enough is enough
Let the weed go too! That shit isn’t good for you either no matter what ppl say
It’s not completely safe, especially if you smoke it, but if it’s going to keep them away from worst things then I don’t see an issue. Definitely a way healthier alternative to the lean, pills, and alcohol these rappers be putting in their body.
Herb is good for the soul. Keep smokin.
Yall say god made the world naturally and everything at its perfection well weed was made at its perfection okay so thank you ??
I’m not agaisnt Marijuana use, and was a huge stoner for many years, smoking quarters ounces of dank daily for years. With that said, “God made” doesn’t equate to safe. Arsenic is from nature, and that kills us. Yes, Marijuana has proven to be far safer than almost any high out there… But, people like to act as if it has absolutely no negative physical or mental effects, which simply isn’t true. People who claim that are in denial, or being ignorant dumbasses. But again, Marijuana is very very safe, but definitely alters the brain in ways we can’t fully comprehend yet. Overall, I’m pro Marijuana. Smoke daily if ya like. Just be responsible!
You stupid af. Weed isn’t bad for you dumb ass. Smoking it is. Some ppl just ignorant and that’s ok.
He looks like he not Gon be able to give it up
Looks like he’s on It now
Folks lying to be a good example. I appreciate the positivity but this shit far from over for him and us.
Exactly. It’s one thing to say you’re quitting, but it’s another thing to actually quit.
Just plain dumb..
Your the dumb one
Oh oh ignant alert.
this kid already look like he over dosed 12 times.
I guess it really shouldn’t surprise me, that there’s all these comments. Comments where some jackass, is calling someone stupid & they misuse words. (You, your, you’re, to, too etc.)
If it don’t come out of the ground don’t fuck w it.
The drug that juice wrld died from is made from opium which comes from poppy seads which comes from the ground….
You’re a moron.
Then mixed with chemicals fucking idiot what chemicals do you put in marijuana prob the same shit you do corn and other shit you grow
Smoking weed isn’t that beneficial itself… doesn’t really aid for helping anxiety like it’s claimed. It’s a difference between not giving af while high and being relaxed because you feel at ease without the feeling of needing it. Ask people who stopped smoking it how they feel afterwards and they’ll tell you it’s a difference. You can handle things you face or chill without needing to smoke a L or hit the bong
You all should be ashamed of yourself!! My 18 year old brother was murdered back in 2008 so my only other sibling Daniel turned to prescription medication and died from an overdose at the age of 21! I can’t explain what I go through everyday because he is gone but this guy is trying to make a difference in the world and all you can do is shit talk and be negative about it. Trippie Redd I support you and think more people should do this cuz Drugs are killing our future. If anything do it out spite against the LOSERS that hate the Light!!!
“The whole emo music.” WHAT A FUCKING QUEEF
why yall hatin trippie for making a change yall pussy ass niggas
