Big Sean Opens Up About his Adderall Addiction

Big Sean is fresh off release of his new album Better Me Than You.

The album has got a mostly positive reaction from fans but it hasn’t performed as well on the commercial side as some of his previous projects. In a new interview with DeepCut with VicBlends, Sean talks about why this album is his favorite he’s ever made.

He also talks about being addicted to Adderall which patients usually take to treat deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). He opens up that he got in a phase where he couldn’t function without it.

“I remember walking into a studio and feeling like I couldn’t do anything without it. That’s when I knew I had an issue, that’s when I knew I had a problem. I was like ok, I need to immediately stop this. I cold turkey stopped it… I had to fall back from everything. I had to stop what I was doing and I had to start connecting with myself again spiritually because I completely fell off of that. I really got back into my meditations heavily and I surrounded myself with mentors that helped me connect with myself more,” said Sean.

During rest of the conversation, the rapper speaks on upbringing in Detroit, how he first met Kanye, his past struggles with burnout, creating healthier habits, his love for his mom, writing his first book, his new album, and several words of wisdom to keep in mind when faced with adversity.
