Rick Ross Opens up About Past
Drug Use and Hospitalization.
43-year-old rapper Rick Ross recently came clean
to ‘People’ about his hospitalization in March 2018. .
Ross admitted that his seizure was largely caused by his
abuse of the prescription cough syrup known as codeine. .
It was the codeine…that mixed with the things
I was drinking, the other drugs I was doing,
and on top of not resting…[I don’t think] one
particular thing would have killed me.
But everything combined?, Rick Ross, via ‘People’.
For Ross, the incident was life-changing and
pushed him to take a new perspective on life.
When I woke up in the hospital and I had so
many people around me, so many homies, it
felt like I was in V.I.P…But it was more like
‘D---, we gotta do some special things.', Rick Ross, via ‘People’.
Now, Ross is focused on a
healthier lifestyle and has gone
a year without abusing codeine. .
I cut the sodas out and I drink a lot more
water. That, adding in some vegetables and
I get a lot more rest…I’m just living and being
much more genuine, Rick Ross, via ‘People’
