Drake Uses Drugs to Cope with Fame
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Drunk, Parties,
Drake has confessed he has taken drugs to cope with the pressures of fame. The rapper was catapulted to stardom in 2010 after his debut album Thank Me Later went to number one in America, but he has revealed his career comes at a price as he feels an '"overwhelming stress" as an artist and he has taken substances "in moderation" to relax.
"Have I sipped codeine before? Yeah, of course. Have I smoked weed? Yes. Do I drink wine? Yes. But do I do it excessively? No. I'm not a reckless guy. I do it all within moderation," he told The Guardian.
Although he is completely in control of his life, the 25-year-old musician - who has collaborated with the likes of Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne - can understand why lots of stars do go off the rails: "You get artists who go crazy and don't know how to handle it. There are people who have killed themselves. There's the overwhelming stress, how tired you are, the weight on your shoulders of going out and giving 18,000 people entertainment ... It's a lot of pressure."

Overdose Scared Eminem Into Quitting

Eminem “scared himself” with the extent of his drug addiction.
The rapper admits he only gave up taking illegal substances for good after he relapsed just weeks after an almost fatal drug-taking session in late 2007.
“I had overdosed in 2007, like right around Christmas in 2007. I pretty much almost died. You know, I pulled through and went home and relapsed less than a month later and I literally shot back up to the amount of pills I was taking, shot right back up to where I overdosed. Kind of I scared myself, like, ‘Yo! I need to, I need help. Like I can’t beat this on my own.’ The things I was putting in my body, my tolerance got so high. I got to the point where I couldn’t even count how many pills I was taking.”
The hip-hop superstar has a 14-year-old daughter Hailie, his child with ex-wife Kimberley Scott, and two adopted girls Alaina, the child of Kimberley’s sister, and Whitney - Kimberley’s daughter from a previous relationship. He is also the legal guardian of his younger half-brother Nathan.
