Over the past few months, there's been many rappers who've said they've quit drugs. Following the death of Lil Peep, many rappers have decided to stop popping Xanax while others have kicked their lean habits. A few weeks a go, Lil Pump took to social media to announce that he'll be "kicking the cup" and put an end to his use of lean. However, that may not be the case. The rapper took to Instagram to reveal that he's not finished with his drink of choice just yet.
Lil Pump isn't done with sipping lean and from what he said, it doesn't look like he will. In a video caught by Rap Catch Up, the rapper took to his Instagram story to reveal that he won't be quitting lean any time soon.
"So what? I'll kick my grandpa in the neck before I kick the cup," he said.
While he continues to indulge in lean, the rapper announced that he quit taking Xanax at the top of the year. In an Instagram post, he wrote, "2018 we going even more crazy love yall 👌🏽💓(btw I don’t take xanz no more fuck Xanax 2018)." In addition, this comes shortly after J. Cole allegedly criticized the new generation of rappers for their continuous promotion and indulges in drugs such as lean and Xanax on his latest album
