Trippie Redd is the latest, taking to Instagram Live to announce his new lifestyle. We ain't doin’ it no more,” he explained. “Period. If it ain't weed, we ain't doin' it no more. And when I say ‘we,’ I mean us as a group. Us as a whole, the whole emo music artists. No drugs.”
“It's not cool,” he added, according to HotNewHipHop. “We look up to all these bigger artists, all these grown-ass men and all they do is talk about poppin’ pills and sippin’ codeine and all that shit... It's music. N---as know what they get theyself into but at the same time, it's like, we gotta be the strongest people to be like, ‘Okay, n---as is just using this for rhymes at this point.’ Let it just be that, you feel me? I'll be the first to say: I ain't sippin' no lean, I ain't poppin' no pills but I'mma still talk about it in music. Maybe."
