During his Drink Champs interview, Juelz Santana confirmed what we all know: He was addicted to lean.
According to Juelz, Paul Wall introduced him to the dirty Sprite and it took off from there.
“I was drinking lean, and did I have an addiction to lean? For sure,” he explained. “I was addicted to the point to where I was drinking it every day and if I stopped drinking it, yeah, I would’ve got sick ’cause that’s what happens with the opiates and shit. Withdrawals and stuff.
“Paul Wall kind of introduced me to it a little bit, just on some ‘Taste it,’ you know what I mean? I’m a grown-ass man, I do what I want. Paul Wall did not drug — nah, no way. I’m not gon’ do that to that man. But yeah, he put me on and you know, me and Wayne being close and recording that album at the time didn’t help, of course. We were just fully not feeling our face all around the board.”
Juelz had denied he was a lean addict in the past, but now he's come clean.
