Monica Leads Praise For Young Dro Following Viral Interview

Young Dro is receiving love for sharing his substance abuse story in a candid interview that went viral after an associate laughed at the rapper discussing his and his daughter’s drug addiction.

Dro and T.I. sat down for an interview with “The Breakfast Club” on Monday (October 14). Comedian K Dubb kept laughing as Dro opened up about his addiction struggles, continuing even when Dro admitted that he overdosed and revealed his daughter was also on drugs.

“Aye, you finna get slapped,” Young Dro told K Dubb, sitting on the couch behind them. “I mean, we cool, but I’ll slap the s### outcha ‘bout that … I’m just telling you.”

However, T.I. prevented a fight from breaking out, immediately stepping in to de-escalate the situation. Thankfully, the intervention worked, and Young Dro was able to explain how he beat his drug addiction.
