Lil Yachty Seven Months Clean From Lean
The Icy rapper opens up about ditching the syrup.

Lil Yachty's been real about a lot of things over the years, but this one hits different. The Atlanta rapper revealed he's been off lean for seven months—a move that speaks to where his head's at right now.
For years, codeine-laced cough syrup was woven into rap culture like it was a rite of passage. Yachty had his moment with it like plenty of artists, but he made the call to step away. That's not always easy when you're surrounded by the lifestyle, the culture, and people who normalize it.
It's one of those quiet wins that doesn't need a press conference. Yachty's focus seems to be on the music and staying sharp—which honestly is what we need to see more of in the game. Real talk, real growth, real consequences for your health. The cup's been put down.
