Tony Yayo delved into why he never engaged in drug use despite the prevalent drug culture in rap.
Yayo attributed his abstinence to his background. While discussing the sobriety of his former G-Unit members, he highlighted a stark contrast between their lifestyles and those who became addicts. Yayo mentioned that even the healthier habits of members like 50 Cent, who rarely smoked or drank excessively, influenced their choices. Reflecting on current trends, Yayo noted differences in the drug scene back then compared to now with the rise of potent substances like fentanyl contributing to higher risks of addiction.
