Particularly in hip-hop, there can be a lot of peer pressure, especially to conform to certain tropes. There&#8217;s this belief that sipping on drug-filled sodas and smoking weed is the cool thing to do. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">However, for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/profile\/offset\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Offset<\/a>, he was drinking codeine to deal with the stresses of his newfound fame. As he cites in his tell-all interview with Keke Palmer on her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/VKIsPKwaz-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">Baby, This is Keke Palmer<\/a> platform, he became reliant on it after the success of &#8220;Bad and Boujee.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">&#8220;Remember I told you after &#8220;Bad and Boujee&#8221; got real serious for me? It became like a job? It was more like I was doing things to cope. The job is a lot,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Traveling all the time, not being with your kids all the time&#8230; being in the group [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/profile\/migos\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\" target=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Migos<\/a>], going against the business side of it, it&#8217;s just all of that in one bottle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">However, he didn&#8217;t quit until a gut-wrenching moment with his son convinced him to do so. &#8220;My oldest son kept asking for pineapple Fanta, but he don&#8217;t really drink soda.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Offset <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/profile\/cardi-b\" class=\"text-word\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cardi B<\/a> Relationship<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Offset continues, &#8220;And then one day he came in studio like, \u2018Why yours is different color than mine?\u2019 It killed me. I\u2019m like, &#8216;Mine is old, I\u2019m about to throw it away,&#8217; and I just grabbed it and walked off. When I went in my room, it\u2019s just like, I damn near cried.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">It was then that he came to the realization that as a father, he wasn&#8217;t being the man he wanted to be. &#8220;He don\u2019t even know that it\u2019s drugs in here though. He don\u2019t know, but in my head it\u2019s like, him even just saying he want the same soda I want. It\u2019s just like, \u2018Oh no, I\u2019m influencing him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">In addition, he thanked his mom for having those tough love conversations with him about his addiction. &#8220;I\u2019m successful, I got money and when your mama calling you like and you and she like, &#8216;You need to get off that stuff,&#8217; and she said it two or three times, it hurt for sure&#8230; I always get that wakeup call from my core people, my family. I\u2019m thankful for having that.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The music business is a tricky gauntlet to navigate for many artists young and old for different reasons.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114660,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[70670,18,117,19,17,337,5,8230,19588,1387],"class_list":{"0":"post-114659","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-codeine","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-music","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-offset","16":"tag-quit","17":"tag-son"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114659"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114659\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
