Part 1: Lil Keke on Sipping Syrup at 14, Hooking Up w/ People's Moms During Houston's Crack Era
--------
Lil Keke shared his journey of overcoming a significant chapter in his life: quitting syrup after consuming it from his teens into his thirties. Reflecting on his past, Lil Keke explained that his reliance on syrup began around age 17, continuing until he was well into his thirties. In 2011, a legal incident abruptly altered his trajectory, forcing him into a pretrial period from November 2011 to February 2012, during which he was mandated to abstain from all substances. Remarkably, this experience became a turning point, leading Keke to quit syrup entirely. The rapper emphasized how discontinuing syrup was life-changing, fostering discipline that extended into other areas of his life, such as financial management and overall well-being. He highlights the broader impact of substance abuse in the music industry, referencing artists like Pimp C and Juice WRLD and expressing gratitude for avoiding a similar fate.
