“The job is a lot, traveling all the time, not being with your kids all the time, people saying this and that, being in the group, going against the business side of it, it’s just all that in one bottle,” he explained. “So, I used to be taking it to the cup. And then, you already know what? Lots of artists get tricked on, ‘Oh, I can’t make music without the drugs.’ But that’s cap…. It’s also addicting.”
Offset said he also acquired “a wake-up call” from his eldest son, Jordan, whom he shares with a earlier relationship. According to the “MotorSport” rapper, he was deep into consuming lean — also identified as sizzurp, a soda-based combine made with codeine — when he seen Jordan beginning to mimic his conduct. That second made him understand just how a lot his dependancy was impacting more than just himself.

I’m like, ‘Mine is old, I’m about to throw it away,’ and I just grabbed it and walked off.”
It was in that second that the rapper “damn near cried,” understanding that he had to change his life around.
“I felt bad as a father,” Offset told Palmer. “He don’t even notice it’s drugs in here though. He don’t know, but in my head it’s like him even just saying he wants the same soda I want. It’s just like, ‘Oh no, I’m influencing him.’”
The rapper also confronted robust criticism from his mom, which made the truth of his scenario hit even more durable. Fortunately, with the help of his household and close circle, he was ready to flip his life around.
