Danny Brown has always been honest.

Needless to say, if you are a Brown fan, you have been given plenty of reasons to be excited.

Unfortunately, Brown has gone through numerous struggles over the years. He has been very forthcoming about his problems with addiction. In a conversation with The Guardian, Brown got to talk about many of those problems he has faced. His rock bottom happened during the middle of the pandemic after a breakup. “I got to the point where I was pretty much suicidal,” Brown noted while referencing the fentanyl crisis and not caring about the source of his drugs.

“I’m in this nice-ass apartment, it was like four bedrooms, but I’m lonely as fuck. It got to the point I was just getting fucked up, every day, by myself," he continued to note. “It was seven days a week. I was in pain all the time. Throwing up and shit, you know? It was my rock bottom, that’s how it was.” Recently, Brown was able to go to rehab and get himself right. It's not easy to pull that off, but he did so with grace, and you cannot help but be proud of him.
