Bow Wow Opens Up About His Lean Addiction: ‘I Was Losing My F–king Mind’

Bow Wow has opened up about his former lean addiction that led to his hospitalization before getting clean.

The Like Mike star recently appeared on The Art of Dialogue, where he opened up about his addiction and what forced him to eventually get clean after seeing the stranglehold lean had on his life circa 2007. Bow Wow reached a point of no return and knew something had to change after collapsing on stage one night while touring with Chris Brown. Bow Wow and Soulja Boy ruminated about their days pouring up “Lean” on a track from their 2016 joint project Ignorant S–t, named after the “purple drank.” “This my first time f–king with that DJ Screw/ I can’t even stay awake, that’s what that lean will do/ Pour it out that baby bottle right into that juice/ If I take another sip of it, I am through,” Bow raps.
