Rising California rapper Lil Xan recently sat down for an interview with Pigeons and Planes, where he opened up about backing away from opioids and how Lil Peep's death affected him.

While Lil Xan admits he quit doing Xanax before Lil Peep's death, he admitted that the situation was a wake-up call for him. He explained, “Rest in peace, Peep. That was a tragedy. It was definitely a wake-up call to a lot of people. There are still rappers that are doing what they’re doing. And they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do regardless, but it hit too close to home."

Lil Xan added," I’m not saying it was the turning point of me deciding to be anti-Xan. I was anti-Xan months and month ago, but it was definitely a wake-up call and a reminder that this s*** is real.”

He also spoke about his anti-Xan movement, Xanarchy, "I created that way before I started to pop. I built it and it’s grown with me, and it’s crazy to see that it’s a lifestyle at this point. The way the fans treat it, it’s just insane the amount of love it gets. The clothes sell out in a couple days. Now it’s the national anti-Xan movement. The brand is unstoppable at this point and I’m just glad I’ve created something so positive and people can relate to it."
