In a recent interview, Juice WRLD’s label head, Lil Bibby revealed that he got the rapper to agree to go to rehab before his accidental overdose.
“We already had him signed up for rehab,” Bibby said. “He agreed to do because that was like pulling teeth with him.”
“I found out that he was doing four (Percocets at a time). So I get to freaking out. Like ‘What the fuck.’ I get to telling people like ‘Look we got to send this kid to rehab,’” Bibby explained. “I’m telling everyone because I’m thinking ‘That’s a lot.’ Because all people I know only do at the max one. … And these is the 30s.”
Bibby then added that Juice’s team found out that he was doing more than doses of four Percocets about a week before his death. At that point, they knew he had no choice but to go to rehab. Sadly, it was too late.
