Earlier this week, Rich Homie Quan was making headlines – not for securing a spot on the XXL Freshman cover – but for suffering back-to-back seizures on set of a new music video, and falling and hitting his head. Many immediately speculated that it was related to the consumption of lean, as this has been the cause behind many other health issues for other artists who are fans of the illegal cough medicine. After brief responses via Twitter, Quan has released an official statement, detailing what really happened and denying it being a direct result of lean – though he does NOT deny his usage of it regularly. Check out the full statement below.

“I just want to thank my fans and everyone who has called concerned about me. I want to clear up two things, after being in 3 states in 3 days, up early having to shoot my video for “Walk Thru” and even sleeping in between scenes on top of filming in this humid Atlanta heat, I fainted and hit my head. It’s no secret that I do turn up, I don’t deny that but I’m not addicted to anything including drugs nor was I leaning at the shoot. The media is gonna put fake stories out there but I just want to let my fans know that I’m good and recovering. The second thing is, I promised I will never stop going in and I mean that.”
