Lil Xan has openly spoken up about his drug addiction. The rapper is now reportedly clean and has called out his ex-manager, Stat Quo, who used to allegedly enable him.
In a recent Instagram Live session, Xan likened his situation to that of rapper Lil Peep, who died at the age of 21 from a drug overdose:
“Do you guys remember the whole Lil Peep, the story when his management was giving him drugs and it just wasn’t helping out and all that? That happened to me on tour. My manager, well I don’t even like to call him my manager anymore, Stat Quo, remember that name, Stat Quo.”
Xan stated that he was a drug addict when he was on tour with Nicki Minaj and Juice WRLD. He added that it was his manager who supplied him with drugs.
The rapper claimed that since his manager knew his dealers, Stat would “make calls” and arrange for drugs while Xan was experiencing withdrawals. Stat reportedly spent thousands of dollars to send substances to Xan during the tour.
Lil Xan continued by saying that he was in an extremely unhealthy state and almost died from the drugs. Xan also claimed that Stat Quo took away a car that he paid most of the money for and is now demanding $30,000 for the remaining payments.
