36-year-old American rapper and actor, Bow Wow has revealed how his battle with drug addiction once landed him in a health facility.
In an interview on The Art of Dialogue podcast, where the legendary rapper was asked about his 2007 collaborative album with Omarion, referencing the combination of promethazine and codeine cough syrup mixed with soda, Bow Wow said; ‘‘I was on lean. I was sipping so much syrup. I was drinking that s*** like crazy”.
Shad Gregory Moss, who is most popularly known as Bow Wow, said the BET documentary series Road To Platinum showed several Styrofoam cups and Hawaiian Punch bottles in the studio.
The rapper gave credit to his late publicist Patti Webster, who died in 2013 at age 49, for keeping his drug addiction out of the public. Webster, released a statement about his collapse blaming it on dehydration.
The rapper who noted that he beat his addiction to hard drugs and has since learned his ‘boundaries’ added that, “there wasn’t no dehydration. I was f***ed up off lean. We didn’t want the world to know”.
