Mozzy has opened up about his struggles with substance abuse, crediting his kids with helping him get on the right path.

During an interview with Home Grown Radio that went live last week, the 36-year-old discussed the severity of his past vices and how he was able to claw his way out of self-destructive tendencies stemming from unrestrained alcohol consumption and more.

“I’m just saying, though, addiction is real,” he said at the 15:45 mark. “I done had my struggles with it, where I put it down, picked it up, put it down, picked it up, put it down, picked it up, and anybody whose had an addiction to something, y’know, of that magnitude, completely understand [what I’m saying].”

“Just looking at my children and be like, ‘I gotta be here, I gotta be here for the long haul,’” he added. “That was the inspiration for me to put it down.”
