Ahead of the group’s “Verzuz” appearance this week, the rapper-producer spoke about the group using everything from “heroin to meth to cocaine.”
Ahead of Three 6 Mafia’s appearance, Juicy J caught up with Nas and Miss Info on their podcast The Bridge: 50 Years of Hip Hop where he spoke about the Memphis group’s rise and eventual tumble. According to the Oscar winner, drugs played a significant role in their retreat from the spotlight.
“From heroin to meth to cocaine, all kinds of pills,” J said of the group’s breakup. “A lot of drugs were consumed during the times we were together. When everybody was sober and sh*t, everybody’s on the same page But when cocaine’s involved, things change. But I’m not pointing a figure at nobody.”
He reportedly added that he couldn’t think of any other reason why Three 6 Mafia struggled through that period. “People wasn’t showing up in the studio,” he said. “Business was crazy, everything’s folding… it was the drugs.” Make sure to tune into Verzuz on Thursday, December 2 at 6:30 p.m. PT/9:30 p.m. ET.
