2 Chainz is done with sizzurp.
In an interview with MTV about his Freebase EP, the rapper talks about his road to a sober lifestyle.
"I don't even 'drank' no more," he said. "I haven't drunk since New Year's Eve; that was my New Year's resolution. You know that I have stomach issues and everything, so for me, I'm trying to get off of all medicine dealing with my stomach. I take medicine every day that people don't know about. So for me, it wasn't just about me enjoying or — basically if you do too much of anything, it's abusive."
2 Chainz recently pled guilty to drug charges after an arrest in 2012. The "No Lie" rapper will undergo a sobriety program for 18 month as part of the plea.
Chainz says the promethazine cocktails would help ease the pain of the medicine he had to take for his stomach problems.
"So for me, I wasn't trying to abuse it, it was just about me maintaining," he said. " When you have ulcers and acid reflux and you fly as much as I do, you get nausea," he said, noting that he was receiving prescriptions from his doctor.
He added that quitting cold turkey can be difficult, but he's ready to move on with his life.
"It's the same thing with drugs and anything else," he said. "If you're able to go cold turkey, wake up and say, 'I don't really need this,' then that just shows a lot about who you are as a person."
