We wondered if the Xanax trend would die in 2018, and after Lil Pump confirmed he'd be leaving the drug behind in 2017, we're also discovering that Smokepurpp is of the same mindset.
Lil Pump rang in the new year by flexing all his glittery chains and watches on Instagram, and with that, he revealed that he actually doesn't take Xanax anymore, and that that would continue in 2018: "btw I don’t take xanz no more fuck Xanax 2018." Smokepurpp made a similar announcement on his twitter, before dropping off his new single "Big Bucks" which again showcases his mindset for the new year.
Purpp isn't alone either in his rejection of the drug, as his tweet refers to plural -- "we leaving Xanax in 2017," he wrote. The more, the merrier.
Travis Scott caught wind of Purpp's tweet, and co-signed it by way of screenshotting it and tweeting it out. "This tweet made me happy !!!," he wrote, complete with three exclamation marks. For those unfamiliar with the two's connection, Travis Scott signed Smokepurpp to his imprint Catcus Jack Records back in September and the two have also collaborated on "Fingers Blue."
Exciting news indeed, who do you think will be the next rapper to publicly announce they're off Xanax? We'll definitely be keeping an eye out and update you on any more Xanax deserters.
Peep the two tweets from the labelhead and his signee below.
