Lucki & Lil Yachty Discuss Lean Cost, Claim Young Thug Paid $5K Due To “Tax”

by

An increasing number of celebrities have become more comfortable in using their platforms to speak out about issues with mental health and substance abuse. On the latest episode of Lil Yachty’s A Safe Place podcast, he and co-host Mitch sat down with Lucki to talk about some of their personal vices. For his part, the “Brocolli” hitmaker shared that he’s approaching his one-year sobriety milestone. Their guest shared that he’s completely quit popping pills, though he’s having a difficult time quitting promethazine.

At one point during their chat, Yachty asked Lucki how much money he’s likely spent on lean in his career. “I don’t like thinking about that,” the Chicago native admitted. “I remember when I was coming up, ni**as used to be like, ‘I charged Young Thug $5,000. They used to take pride in waxing a rapper!” Lucki further reflected. “I just realized, three months ago, I turned into that. Ni**as take pride in taxing me, I ain’t realize it.”

The 27-year-old then shared that he’s not one to “go back and forth” when a dealer names their price. However, he and Yachty expressed suspicion about price increases being manufactured by those on the inside who frequently name shortages as a reason for rising costs. “I’m really a victim out here though,” Lucki told the hosts, who looked at him and laughed. “Lemme guess, CVS is out of stock.”

Seeing as he’s still in jail awaiting the official start of his YSL RICO trial, it’s likely been some time since Young Thug has indulged in his lean habit. Of course, there are still ways to get usually forbidden objects behind bars. His girlfriend Mariah the Scientist recently shared he has an iPad he uses to play Candy Crush on the regular.

Andrew Tate Rips Adin Ross Apart For Lean Relapse

by

Andrew Tate is someone who is quite outspoken about various topics in popular culture. Although his opinions are mostly rooted in the kind of toxicity only a 13-year-old could love, it just so happens there are a lot of 13-year-olds out there. Overall, this propensity for men to veer toward misogyny has made Tate a lot of money. That said, Tate could very well lose his fortune soon, as he is currently being investigated for human trafficking in the country of Romania.

Interestingly enough, Tate has become friends with a plethora of content creators. Among them is none other than Adin Ross. Overall, Ross is one of the biggest streamers in the world. He currently resides over on Kick, where he can get away with a lot more than he used to. Unfortunately, Ross has gone through some struggles as of late. For instance, he recently told his stream that he relapsed into his lean addiction. As you will see below, this got Andrew Tate very upset.

Andrew Tate Speaks

In the clips up above, Tate makes the accusation that Ross only does lean so that he can get more content for his streams. Moreover, he believes that if the creator gave himself to God, like Tate recently did, then he would be just fine. It is a pretty reductive way of looking at the world, however, that’s Tate for you. Lean addiction can be incredibly difficult to get out of. After all, the drug is called liquid heroin for a good reason.

Ross says he started using again after he tested positive for COVID-19. The streamer acknowledged it was a big mistake and that he would try to right his wrong. Hopefully, Adin can get a hold of his addiction, and beat it, once and for all. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the entertainment world.

YFN Lucci Appears To Pour Lean In Jail

by

A video has surfaced that appears to show YFN Lucci pouring up lean in jail. Lucci is currently locked up at the Fulton County Jail facing RICO charges. The charges stem from a drive-by shooting that happened in January 2021. The initial shooting led to an exchange of gunfire, As a result, James Adams, who was a passenger in the car with Lucci, was shot and killed. Authorities do not believe Lucci shot Adams. However, in Georgia, if one person dies while committing a crime, that person’s accomplices are responsible for their death.

Subsequently, Lucci was charged with murder, racketeering, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Now, the Atlanta rapper may be in trouble again. On Sunday, the Say Cheese! Twitter account posted a video that appears to show Lucci pouring up lean in his jail cell. During the brief clip, Lucci can be seen pouring liquid into two bottles. If the substance is in fact lean, this would be a major breach of jail rules. However, some Twitter users were perplexed as to how Lucci was able to get his hands on lean, to begin with. “How did he get lean?” one user asked.

YFN Lucci Could Face Additional Charges

Meanwhile, others pointed out that it may be difficult for jail staff to prove the substance was lean. “Can’t prove it’s an illegal substance just from a video,” one user said. Although It may be difficult for authorities to prove that the substance was lean Lucci will still have to explain having a cell phone. Phones are considered contraband in most jails. Therefore, anyone who brings in a phone for an inmate can face stiff punishment or even jail time. Moreover, any inmate caught with a phone runs the risk of being sent to solitary confinement and possibly additional charges.

However, any new charges would likely be a drop in the bucket for Lucci. The 32-year-old is facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars. Lucci and his associates had been under investigation for some time for their arrests. Subsequently, Lucci and 12 other men were named in a more than 100-count indictment. The men are accused of belonging to one of Atlanta’s most ruthless gangs. Ironically, Lucci is facing a similar fate as his longtime enemy Young Thug. Thugger is also facing RICO charges and the possibility of decades behind bars. Lucci’s fans will be hoping the rapper can stay out of trouble and one day see freedom again.

600 Breezy Went On A “Drug Binge” To Cope With GF’s Suicide

by

Rappers often speak about their addictions, and 600 Breezy knows all too well what it’s like being dependent on a drug. Like many of his Rap peers, he struggled with addiction, telling VladTV that at 6’5″, he got down to 170 pounds. Breezy is in a much healthier place these days, but he’s revisiting times in his life when he was close to allowing his addictions to overwhelm him. “I was a skeleton,” he recalled. It occurred after his girlfriend took her own life.

“I just went on a three, four-month, just drug binge,” the rapper admitted. “Literally, at my mom house, laying on the floor, balled up in a corner with my grandad’s ashes or my cousins. Just trying to feel their energy. I just wanted to understand life more, because it was just like, ‘Aight, my girl not here, I don’t want to be here no more.’” However, there were people in his life who stepped in to remind him of all he had to live for.

600 Breezy Decides To Push Through The Pain

“She was a great part of my life. She taught me a lot. I got a lot from her. As like, she was only in my life for two years so why end my life for—you know what I’m saying?” he said of deciding against suicide, himself. “Do something stupid when I got kids that I gotta raise forever. Even when they’re 30, I’m still gonna have to be in they life. I still got my mom, I do something to myself…my mom. You know, I had to really sit back and think. I just used the drugs to cope, just to be in a numbness. Then I have to snap out of it.”

In September 2022, it was revealed that Raven Jackson, 600 Breezy’s girlfriend of two years, committed suicide. He publicly grieved the loss at the time, sharing photos of them together on social media. Breezy also posted screenshots of their last text conversation that suggested Jackson was struggling mentally and had been for some time.

600 Breezy Drank “Pints” Of Lean

Additionally, 600 Breezy revealed that the drug use resulted in him having health problems. “I ain’t seen the gym in months. It’s just like, I just wanna do drugs and do drugs and do drugs and just be numb. But, that ain’t the way to go.” Even sitting for the VladTV interview, Breezy admitted he was still in pain. “It’s killing me,” he admitted. “I was drinking Lean. Like, pints.”

“I did nothing but drugs, ’cause it was like, it was nothin’ in this world that anybody could tell me about anything. I just lost my woman, I did everything with her. If I traveled to work, she came with me. She was with me like she was my child, every day. It go from every day, talkin’ and being with somebody and now, you know. It’s like, she’s just gone. I don’t got an explanation, I don’t got nothing.” Watch 600 Breezy speak about his grief below.

Lil Baby’s 4PF Artist Rylo Rodriguez Admits $4K A Week Lean Habit

by

4PF signee Rylo Rodriguez recently admitted to spending about $4K a week on lean. Moreover, in a run-in with Awaiz Dawave, the interviewer asked him about his habits, which made him calculate in his head. “On lean a week?” he replied. “Hold on … Probably like $4,000. Probably like $4,000 — $3,800. I did it weekly. That’s three days [and] three a pint. It depends like $3,200 — three bands.” After the clip started gaining numbers and going viral, fans turned heads at the reveal for various reasons. Meanwhile, the 29-year-old MC recently dropped a new single titled “Set Me Free.”

However, many fans in Dawave’s comments section had some interesting takes on Rylo’s habits. “I needa start sellin ts then bc what,” one user wrote. In addition, another commented “Ask him what’s his biggest investment” with a laughing emoji. Still, most fans expressed concern over his habits and the dangers associated with lean. “Whoever in his camp not real,” a fan expressed, likely referring to people not being there to warn him. “I  like him but we gone be lucky if he finish the year with us,” another wrote dejectedly. Also, fans might remember his 2019 arrest for drug possession charges, and might be sad at this reveal.

Still, this is something that many rappers struggle with; some spit about loving it, while others say it’s a blessing and a curse. Plenty of rappers, though, beat their vices and championed sobriety, with some detailing their process. For one, there’s the example of 808 Mafia veteran Lex Luger. “I remember waking up, Po up a 4, light up some blunts and be basically sleep walking thru the mall high and blowing …. Man I have changed and I’m so proud of myself,” he tweeted in December. “Like if you have changed for the better.”

Also, Sada Baby recently opened up about his sobriety journey as well. In fact, his weekly lean allowance shocked fans, as well. “Ain’t spent 10-20k a week on lean in longer than a year,” the Detroit veteran tweeted. “Ain’t bought over 5 perks in two months, ain’t smoked a cigarette in two months. Suck my dick n celebrate my sobriety.” Check out more reactions to Rylo Rodriguez’s admission down below and stay tuned to HNHH for more hip-hop journeys.
