Offset has recently revealed that he’s four years sober, and that his oldest son played a major part in motivating him to walk away from a serious drug addiction.

Offset Reveals Oldest Son Motivated Him to Be 4 Years Sober

During his recent appearance on the ‘Baby, This Is Keke Palmer‘ podcast, Offset revealed how the pressures of fame led him to depend on lean. He stated,

“I was taking to the cup, and then you know what you get tricked on? A lot of artists, I feel like, be tricked on like, ‘Oh, I can’t make music without the drugs.”

Offset also added by saying his family could see a difference in him over time as his addiction progressed.

“My mama started telling me, ‘Hey boy, I don’t like you on this…you aggravated, and you ain’t being my son,””

The ‘Ric Flair Drip‘ rapper said that he “d*mn near cried” and felt bad as a father after an incident with his 15-year-old son, who kept asking him for a pineapple fanta.

“My oldest son kept asking for like pineapple Fanta, but he don’t even really drink soda…And then one day he came in the studio like, ‘Why yours a different color than mine?’ It killed me.”

Offset also stated that he didn’t realize how closely his child was watching him.

“He don’t even notice it’s drugs in here though. He don’t know, but in my head it’s like, him even just saying he want the same soda I want. It’s just like, ‘Oh no, I’m influencing him,'”

Thankfully, this was a wake-up call, and the rapper is now four years sober.
