Bow Wow Reveals Lean Addiction Nearly Made Him Lose His Mind

Bow Wow Reveals Lean Addiction Nearly Made Him Lose His Mind

Bow Wow is speaking out about his past lean addiction and how it was making him lose his mind.

Bow Wow appeared on The Art of Dialogue, detailing his addiction and highlighting moments fans may recognize.

“I was sipping lean,” Bow Wow said.. “I was sipping so much syrup. I said this after Mac Miller died. I was drinking that sh*t like crazy. If you go back and watch ‘The Road to Platinum’ series on BET, you’ll see so many white Styrofoam cups. I was losing my f**ing mind.”

Bow Wow would reveal his addiction caused him to drop out of his tour with Chris Brown, collapsing after the first night. He stated he woke up in a Cincinnati hospital before returning to Atlanta, where he experienced withdrawals of intense sweating, shivering, and vomiting due to the excessive amounts of lean he had.

Bow Wow would eventually pull out the tour and celebrate his publicist, Pattie Webster, for covering for him at the time.

“She put out a press release for dehydration,” Bow Wow added. “Wasn’t no dehydration. I was f*cked up off lean. That’s just good PR. We didn’t want the world to know that 18, 19-year-old Bow was heavy on the drank.”

Bow Wow Opens Up About Past Addiction to Lean and Infamous Outburst

bowwow

In a candid and revealing interview, rapper Bow Wow, formerly known as Lil’ Bow Wow, has shed light on his past struggles with addiction to lean, a potent concoction containing codeine and promethazine. The artist, who gained fame at a young age with hits like “Bounce with Me” and “Bow Wow (That’s My Name),” opened up about his turbulent journey during the promotion of his joint album with Omarion and the infamous BET Road to Platinum special in 2007.

During the BET special, Bow Wow, alongside Omarion, went on a tirade demanding respect for themselves. Little did the audience know Bow Wow was high on lean during the outburst. In his recent interview, Bow Wow, also known as Bow Weezy, admitted to being addicted to lean during the production and promotion of the joint album with Omarion.

The rapper revealed that his addiction to lean took a toll on his mental and physical health. He admitted to leaning with him, even during public appearances and dinners at upscale restaurants like Ruth Chris Steakhouse. Bow Wow confessed to becoming increasingly irritable and overreactive to jokes, attributing his behavior to the effects of lean.

The consequences of his addiction became apparent when Bow Wow collapsed on stage due to severe stomach issues caused by lean. Despite initially attributing his illness to dehydration, the rapper now acknowledges that he was battling an addiction to the drug at just 18 years old.

The repercussions of Bow Wow’s addiction were far-reaching, leading to missed tour dates and prolonged sickness due to extreme withdrawals. The artist emphasized the severity of his struggle, admitting that it took a significant toll on his physical and mental well-being.

Bow Wow’s revelation serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of substance abuse, especially within the entertainment industry, where such behaviors are often glamorized. His willingness to open up about his past struggles sheds light on the importance of seeking help and support for those battling addiction.

As Bow Wow continues on his journey to recovery, his story serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of prioritizing one’s health and well-being above all else.

For those struggling with addiction or seeking support, resources and assistance are available through various organizations and hotlines dedicated to substance abuse recovery.

Bow Wow Calls for a Hip-Hop Union: ‘Hip Hop Needs a Board!’

g

Words by: Brandon Simmons

Bow Wow believes Hip Hop needs to make changes.  The 35-year-old rapper feels the music industry is like the NBA and should form a union.  He took to Twitter to express his thoughts.

”Hip Hop needs a board! No different than the NBA w/ the players association. A committee.  That can set rules and keep things in control and protect this thing we call hip hop!  And have a retirement plan for the OG rappers…”

LL COOL J’s brand, Rock the Bells, agreed with Bow Wow on Twitter as they stated they have ensured that veteran rappers are being taken care of.  This isn’t a new message in hip-hop, as other artists such as Public Enemy have spoken up.

Chuck D, KRS-One, and Kurtis Blow formed the Hip Hop Alliance union last year.  KRS-One spoke about the new union on his Instagram page.

”Managers, Artists, Agents, Engineers and Producers, what is the retirement plan, healthcare plan, and fare commission standards for us? What is a fare wage for what we do within ‘hip-hop’ as an industry?…Answer: The Hip Hop Alliance!”

Bow Wow was just in Sydney, Australia, for the Juicy Fest performing with other legendary artists such as Ne-Yo, JA Rule, and Mya.  The “Fresh Azimiz” rapper has been hitting the road as of late.  He was on The Millenium Tour that ended late last year.
