Lil Yachty has revealed that he has been seven months sober from drinking lean.
Last Friday (Nov. 6), Yachty joined streamer Cuffem for a mukbang livestream on Kick. During the session, Cuffem brought out some lean to enjoy alongside their food, only to discover that he would be drinking alone.
“Chat, I pulled up with a cup,” Cuffem said on the stream. “I thought my ni**a Boat was sipping. He’s seven months clean! I’m the only druggie leaned-out ni**a left!”
“Yeah, that sh\*t was taking over,” Yachty responded.
Yachty’s decision to walk away from lean could be connected to the eventful year he’s experienced. Back in September, the Atlanta rapper made his WWE in-ring debut, kicking off Sunday Night’s Main Event with a five-minute Beat the Clock-style showdown against Baron Corbin. His challenge was to avoid being pinned or submitted throughout the match, which would give Trick Williams, the wrestler managed by Yachty, a chance to face Corbin for the WWE United States Championship.
With Quavo accompanying him to the ring, Yachty successfully lasted the entire five minutes, despite Corbin seeming to have the upper hand on several occasions.
Lil Boat also revived his podcast, A Safe Place, after an extended break this year and has been focused on building the Concrete Boys into a collective.
