More about Lil Uzi Vert's relationship with addiction
Lil Uzi Vert's recent mentions of consuming nitrous oxide have raised concerns among his fans and followers since the rapper has a history of addiction. In June 2023, the rapper shared images of his cover story for the 032c magazine's summer 2023 issue, where he opened up about spending seven months in rehab to get clean, saying,
"I spent seven months in rehab. The first month and a half were hard, but after that, it wasn't easy because the people there became my family. They showed me so many different outlets and ways to cope with life. We did a lot of group talks, a lot of writing on whiteboards. I was so sure that it wasn't going to work, but surprisingly it's super effective."
Several rappers other than Lil Uzi Vert have been spotted on camera this year for using nitrous oxide, including Baby Kia, Skrille, and Kanye West. In August, West was accused by his former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, of having a nitrous oxide addiction after a dentist got him hooked on it.
