Fat Joe who just dropped a joint project with Dre talks about drugs during an interview with Wendy Williams.
When asked if he knew juice wrld, he said:
“I only met him one time,” he said. “He was such a beautiful kid. He was so respectful when I met him, and I was just like, ‘Yo, this is a real good kid.’ So, rest in peace, Juice Wrld.”
He then talked about drugs, he said:
“But they gotta stop!” he exclaimed, before delving into how the perception was different back then. “When we was younger, we would go smoke crack. But you knew you was copping rock cocaine, or you knew you was copping heroin – you knew it was disgusting!”
Speaking on today’s perception of drugs, he adds, “So now, what happens with these pills, being that there prescribed, these kids don’t think they’re pill-heads or crackheads, or they’re nothing.
“Nowadays they think It’s legal, it’s cool! We can do as much of it as we want.’ And that’s a big understatement because all these kids are dying.”
“Everyday in the Bronx, all these kids are dying – overdosing off of pills,” he says. “We gotta try watch these kids as much as we can, ’cause it’s sad … This kid was filthy rich and died at 21 years old, on a private plane”
Juice Wrld’s plane was searched and pills were found in it which the FEDS believed he took
