Andre 3000 Recalls Turning Into A “Panther” During A Wild Ayahuasca Trip In Hawaii

by

Andre 3000 says he once “turned into a panther” during an ayahuasca trip in Hawaii. He recalled the experience while speaking with NPR for a new interview ahead of the release of his upcoming album, New Blue Sun. The Outkast rapper plans to release the project on Friday, November 17.

He references the incident in the title of his song, “That Night In Hawaii When I Turned Into A Panther And Started Making These Low Register Purring Tones That I Couldn’t Control Sh¥t Was Wild.” Speaking with NPR, he explained: “I was actually in Hawaii and it was my second night of the first time I’d ever taken ayahuasca. We did it like a three-night kind of phase. The first night was inviting and beautiful and the most powerful love and connection with all things I’ve ever felt in my life. The second night was different and everybody knows that aya will do you that way. The second night my stomach was hurting, my mouth contorted like a panther and I actually turned into a panther. And I was doing like, ‘GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR’ — like, that kind of thing.”

He continued: “I actually turned into a panther. It was doing this thing called toning. Toning is another way of purging. And toning is where you make these vibrational noises that you can’t control. It started playing me like an instrument. I started as a panther and then it would make me do these long kind of tones and started changing the notes.” He added that he used that purring noise as an inspiration for the aforementioned track on New Blue Sun.

“So, on the album I’m mimicking [it], but the funny thing in the aya session, I was like, ‘Damn, I wish I had my phone so I can record this ’cause, like, it’d be so dope,’” he explained. Be on the lookout for further updates on Andre 3000’s New Blue Sun in the coming days on HotNewHipHop.

Prior to using ayahuasca, Jada says she was struggling with her mental health. “While I was really living the dream, I hit a huge wall — a massive amount of depression,” she explained. “I think that I looked at having outside sources to supplement for the voids that I was feeling inside.” At points, she even battled with thoughts of suicide. “I started looking for places, cliffs where I could have an accident, because I didn’t want my kids to think that their mother had committed suicide,” she said.

Jake Paul Claims He Did Ayahuasca With Aaron Rodgers

by

Jake Paul is someone who has been very open and honest when it comes to his personal life. Overall, Paul grew up around the YouTube culture of documenting every waking moment of your life. There was a time when Paul would vlog every single day. However, he no longer does the whole vlogging thing. For the most part, that trend is a thing of the past. Although, Jake still finds ways to keep his fans updated on all of the things he goes through. Whether that be podcasts or interviews.

Recently, Paul got to speak with Fox News Digital where he spoke about the spiritual side of his life. In fact, Paul has been trying to delve deeper into that world. Following the admission that he likely has CTE, Jake Paul claimed that he wanted to experiment with various psychedelics. Typically, psychedelics and spirituality are intertwined. This subsequently led Paul to try out Ayahuasca. In fact, Paul got to do Ayahuasca with none other than Aaron Rodgers.

“Aaron and I were actually together when we did the ayahuasca,” Paul revealed. “He’s more publicly known for speaking about it, but I was actually there with him when we did it. We spent the week there doing it. Definitely share that similarity in terms of spirituality and reflecting and going into the deepest parts of the mind. Definitely have been doing some of that.” The NFL quarterback has been extremely open and honest about his Ayahuasca use. However, we had no clue he was doing it with Jake Paul this whole time.

Perhaps in the future, these two will sit down for a podcast and talk about their experiences. These are two unique individuals, and we would love to hear what they went through while trying Ayahuasca together. For now, however, Rodgers is simply waiting for his official trade to the New York Jets. Let us know what you think of Jake’s admission, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.
