AceShowbiz - Lil Yachty has revealed that he has been sober from drinking lean for seven months. This update came during a recent livestream on the Kick platform, where he appeared alongside streamer Cuffem for a mukbang session.
During the stream, Cuffem brought lean to accompany their food, but it quickly became clear that Lil Yachty was no longer partaking. Cuffem expressed surprise since he expected Yachty to be drinking as well, but Yachty confirmed he has been clean for several months, emphasizing that quitting lean was a necessary step for him.
This decision to stop drinking lean comes amid an eventful year for Lil Yachty. In September, he made his WWE in-ring debut by participating in a five-minute Beat the Clock challenge against wrestler Baron Corbin on Sunday Night’s Main Event. Yachty had to avoid being pinned or submitted to secure a chance for Trick Williams, a wrestler he manages, to challenge for the WWE United States Championship.
With support from Quavo, who accompanied him to the ring, Lil Yachty successfully completed the full five minutes despite Corbin's attempts to control the match. This debut showcased Yachty's commitment to his new ventures and personal growth.
Beyond wrestling, Lil Yachty also revived his podcast, A Safe Place, after a lengthy break earlier this year. Additionally, he has been actively developing the Concrete Boys collective, strengthening his presence in the music industry and community.
The candid moment with Cuffem highlights Lil Yachty's dedication to leaving behind harmful habits and focusing on his career and well-being. Fans can watch the full discussion between Yachty and Cuffem online, where the rapper talks openly about his decision to quit lean and the positive changes since then.
