However, In April of this year, Famous Dex took to Instagram to announce his choice to quit using lean and Xanax, crediting his faith in God and the
support from his fans.

“I just wanna thank God,” Dex told fans in the clip. “I don’t do xans, the lean. It’s over with, you know what I’m saying? God is good, God is great. I just wanna thank God for everything. I wanna thank my supporters. I wanna thank everyone for supporting me, everybody that knows me. God is so good. I’m relaxed, I’m chilling, I’m good . . . I’m doing it for me and my children. Get right. Dexter. Make the world get better.”

It is unclear what caused the seizure, but Dex denies the cause being drug-related. Well wishes and hopes for a strong recovery are sent Dex’s way.
