It’s a recurring issue in rap and sports.
Recently, rap legend DMX was hospitalized in New York due to a heart attack allegedly brought on by a drug overdose. It’s one more example of the underbelly in rap and also in sports. Add gang behavior and gun violence to the mix.
While artists and athletes are making progress and both industries offer programs to help, reckless behavior is still Achille’s heel.
My advice to athletes and rappers is to focus on your business. That’s what the fans care about. It’s not the money or cars or partying. It’s about what you do.
