In an emotional interview, rapper Shordie Shordie opened up about how the overdose death of Rich Homie Quan deeply impacted his life, leading him to quit drugs. Reflecting on his turbulent journey between Baltimore, Atlanta, and Las Vegas, Shordie described the mental toll of returning home—where success sometimes breeds resentment—and the struggles of navigating environments filled with antagonism and violence. He highlighted the challenges Baltimore artists face, noting that many peers struggle to shine locally due to jealousy and dangerous rivalries. Shordie praised advice from his mother to move away for better opportunities, emphasizing the importance of distance to protect his mental health and career. Drawing parallels with Boosie’s experience of "hypnotized hatred" in hometowns, Shordie stressed that escaping toxic surroundings is crucial for growth. Ultimately, losing Quan became a wake-up call, motivating Shordie to change his lifestyle and focus on a healthier path forward.
