Candid:Â The rapper, pictured in 2018, had chronicled
in his work his affinity for various drugsÂ
In regards to the overdose, he said that an 'acquaintance' gave him medication he later learned
was methadone, 'which is used to wean heroin addicts off dope.
The Without Me artist admitted that his 'doctor told [him that] the amount of methadone [he'd] taken was equivalent to shooting up four bags of heroin.
'Had I known it was methadone, I probably wouldn't have taken it,' he told the magazine.
But as bad as I was back then, I can't even say 100 percent
for sure ... even when they told me I almost died, it didn't click.'
In 2010, he released the album Recovery, which won the Grammy for Best Rap Album the following year.
