Meek Mill steers well clear of pills these days after battling a Percocet addiction and seeing the rising and potentially life-threatening threat of fentanyl.

Meek Mill knows firsthand the effects of opioid addiction. During a 2019 interview with Charlamage Tha God, the Philly rapper admitted he used to take as many as 10 Percocets a dayat the height of his pill-popping habit. Youre walking with death, he said. Real shit. These days, though, Meek Mill steers well clear of pills after successfully kicking his habit.

You can have a bad Perc fuck your head up. Read more
