Erick Sermon's success as a solo artist and one half of the legendary group, EPMD, has been well documented. But what hasn't been as openly discussed are the details regarding his previous struggles to maintain his health after a heart attack in 2011. On Saturday, the former Def Jam signee took to Instagram to post a reflective and emotional message to his followers about being seven months sober after a hard-fought battle against opioid addiction. He also shed some light on the obstacles that his mother has faced from a health standpoint.
"2023 WOW. so blessed to have lived this long," Erik wrote. "Life isn’t guaranteed so don’t take it for granted.
