Lil Peep’s untimely death has sparked conversations about drug abuse and mental health. The 21-year-old rapper died earlier this month from a suspected overdose of fentanyl-laced drugs—a tragedy that has shed light on the opioid epidemic, mental health, and the glorification of prescription drugs in mainstream culture.
In a new interview with Billboard, Vic Mensa spoke about the issue of substance abuse and whom he believes should be held accountable. The Chicago rapper questioned why drug manufacturers and doctors aren’t taking more of the blame.
