Moneybagg famously rapped about his addiction to lean, a mixture of codeine and ingredients such as soda and candy, on his hit “Wockesha” off his album A Gangsta’s Pain.

“One minute I’m done with you, the next one I be runnin’ back,” he raps. “Go your way, I go my way but somehow we be still attached / Tryna find my answers with this cup, but ain’t no truth in that.”

His sobriety is part of his effort to become a better version of himself. “God working on me,” he added.

In September, Moneybagg dropped a remix to “Wockesha” featuring Lil Wayne and Ashanti. He recently seemed to indicate that he would be down to collaborate with Morgan Wallen after the controversial country singer said that Moneybagg was among his favorite artists.

“I do love Moneybagg… He’s definitely at the top of the list,” Wallen said during a Clubhouse chat. “Honestly, my top stuff on Spotify was all hip-hop. … Moneybagg is probably my favorite.”
