“I just dropped out of SoundCloud Uni to go to rehab,” Xan wrote in the caption for a now-deleted IG post. “I leave in like 5 days And I couldn’t be happier with this choice. I love you guys for being so supportive and can’t wait too get back clean headed ready to Finish my album!”
The album Xan speaks of is the Mac Miller tribute album he announced last month. The project has a Dec. 3 release date.
Speaking with TMZ hours after he made his second announcement about his journey to a rehab clinic, Xan explains his reasoning for checking himself in. The deaths of Mac Miller and Lil Peep, two artists who died of overdoses on myriad drugs mixed with fentanyl, helped lead him to his decision to check into rehab.
“Mac Miller hit too close to home. I know we struggle with the same problems and I just feel like it’s time to get better”. When asked what drugs he’s exactly been struggling with, Xan says “Mostly with Hydrocodone. Norcos is what they call them. Basically, a lot of opioids. I’ve been way worse in the past. I want to do rehab so I can get over this last little hump, so I can finally be back to Diego.”
