This shit gave me goosebumps when he said “I haven’t been happy in a long time”. Dexter was my favorite artist through my whole addiction. I’m still struggling been almost a decade two rehab visits and I’m still not done I guess. Seeing dex get clean makes me want to clean up. I don’t know, deep down I feel like most people with an addiction do it because we aren’t happy. I got to find what makes me happy and want to be sober.
I had the same habit too, been doing xans for years and I’d always bump dex. My habit got bad freshmen year of highschool when I was like 14. 23 now and still can’t put them down, I took a benzo last week for the first time since October. I just drink liquor daily now to Somewhat replicate the feeling and slow me down
Gotta find better motivation bru. You can’t get it off the internet. I salute you on striving most ppl don’t like taking accountability.. It’s never easy but you can do it.
@Smokeyjoedamanedamythdalegend You can do it. You have to want to do it and do it for yourself! I have been in your shoes with pain pills. Man that withdrawal was crazy. The pain would make just use again. On that last attempt to quit, I said this is it! I toughed it out and didn't look back. Shit wasn't easy at all but worth it. Please be careful using alcohol as a remedy because the withdrawal from that is far worse and dangerous. I did that too! I praying for you 🙏🏽
So happy for Dex. Not even a big fan but I’ve seen him go through so much throughout the years. And I’m glad he’s so aware of how he was acting when he was on the drugs. Makes me happy seeing him like this frfr.
As a Is recovering addict I been following dex very closely I my self was worried bout him and I couldn't stand him at one point but seeing him grow and bloom like this makes me want nothing but the best for him. He's gonna make it as long as he stay in the lane He's in now.
This is the most heartfelt ❤ realist interview from a rapper I've ever seen on the internet, and I've been on this earth 50 years, before the internet even started
dexter, growing up on you and seeing you get big you could’ve been one of thee biggest artists in hip hop rn, work ethic unmatched!!! Originality off the charts!! We love you we love you gang
My nigga dex don't owe nobody shit and niggas in the industry and out be hating on dex cause like he said he came from nothing now he ballin for doin him rockstar shit
@@joe.limbuswell he coulda overdose but yea he prolly had a likely more chance of bein shot if stayed wit the gang cuz look everybody died that stayed everybody only ppl survive is the mfs locked up or that left its wild
I'm from Chicago, from the same affiliation, & know most of these rappers moms, dads & aunties, & was an addict for 25 years, & now work in the addiction field, & this dude is HIGH AS HELL right now!!! 💯
I dnt even like dude BUT y'all ain't gotta hate on the man...give him a chance!! BTW he has the mask on b/c his bottom round of teeth is FUCCED. Watch the whole interview closely & u see it a couple times when he gets "excited"
Been a dex fan since 2016… he was in his prime with rich and Jay man…they were releasing top tier music back to back… and we all watched dex spiral and that’s okay. He’s come out on the other side. Hope he stays healthy, that’s really the most important thing.
His sigh of relief is too real! Our Community as a ENTIRE whole has suffered so MUCH. To see ANY of us rise ABOVE any circumstance is nothing LESS than AMZING! Our LEVEL Of Resilience is Unmatched
Gotta fuck wit Shawn even though he gives us bits and pieces for a week straight Atleast he don’t charge the culture like vladtv does 🤷🏾♂️keep going Shawn 🫡
@@mattpersico518 seem like you hating since you ain't touching the money he touching 🤣 who cares if he high tf. Lets be serious here, he came a long way. Pretty sure he still get high. He probably slowed it down alot. People can't just quit an addiction! If you had your eyes open you'll see that.
Dude just gained another fan. Thats dope and he just turning 30 i hate to say it the addiction was the best thing to happen to him because it brought him back to his lowest and made him start over with Dexter. The Real Dexter 🤟💪💯
you could see how the drugs hurt him by the way he talking he still fried sorry to hear that all i use to do was smoke some weed i wasnt wit all the pills etc
Now that was significant indeed with the question about having yes men around him.... As an ex addict it's super important to take responsibility for your own actions n not blaming ppl for were you are or are not in life.... With his answer being "it was me bro??"...fairplay black migo dex
yea i saw dem joints too lmao. hopefully he gets them fixed when he get his money. but kids that is what drugs do to your teeth. das why he wearing that mask because he dont want ppl to see his teeth.
Damn on which timestamp did yall see his bottom teeth??? N I was wondering why he was licking tht mask like tht m shit😂 it's really not funny doe 🤦🏾♂️
Really can't blame dex for being dex...imaging if all the other Chicago rappes took a different direction in music like king von ft post Malone or Durk ft Jay z...just different music 🎶
Bro.. my cuz white but fry call em rich black n I swear on everything everything about dex reminds me of em.. addiction is almost impossible to beat if you too dependent on it, you can literally die tryna stop…😢 I luv u dex❤
@Avery Wilson 💯 Just like the last thing most brothers care about is religion. Go to prison turn Muslim now we righteous. But while free didn't think twice about all the robbing stealing and killing we where doing to land us there. And all of a sudden we want to get back to our kids we weren't there for from the beginning.
I can’t front I’m very proud of this man Dex 💯💯he’s tht one Rapper tht said to himself “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” Why? Cuz he put God first,he started New Wave wit Ricc, he got himself clean n became a proud father 🙏🏾👏🏾 how can u hate this man
I love you Dex because of your struggles. Because of the type of individual you are. I look past all the other stuff because we all have our issues we deal with. Stay strong Dex!! I hope you make a comeback you truly deserve to win ❤
I like dis dex his energy coming back that alk he needed to have his energy without the drugs battling perc addiction i no how it is pround he overcame it an got back on track keep it up bro 💯 saw his song with rick an critch he bac lbs his energy an flow remind ne if 2016 2015 dex
Black ppl let stop feeling entitled to other ppl success… let’s be clear mama duck can’t put blame on famous Dex or expect that man to save her son when he didn’t want to save himself
When Dex came to Indiana, he came to my home town South Bend, he way older than me but my sister used to be have a class with him, said he was a funny good-hearted person.
I love famous Dex so much his songs like living my life, Japan , everything from six seven years ago I love famous dex im proud of you brother I hope you see this I hope to see you in New York one day I hope to just bump in to you one day I’m glad you did what you needed to do to continue on with life 💯💯💯💯💯💯😎
Drug addiction is bad in our black community. I’m so happy to see he beat it and I hope he stay up 💫💯

“Good to see him sober” tweaked out slurring the whole video 😂😂😂
💀
Yeah dude is high on drugs for sure
Dex leaving everyone behind was the best life choice he could have ever made.
i know. he puts it in peoples faces i love em for that
Straight up bro. It’s all jealousy.
My nigga dex don't owe nobody shit and niggas in the industry and out be hating on dex cause like he said he came from nothing now he ballin for doin him rockstar shit
As crazy as it sounds, him picking drugs over the streets saved his life lowkey
@@joe.limbuswell he coulda overdose but yea he prolly had a likely more chance of bein shot if stayed wit the gang cuz look everybody died that stayed everybody only ppl survive is the mfs locked up or that left its wild
Powerful when he talks about his mother
Never seen dex sober since he came on the scene so I genuinely can’t tell if he’s actually sober or not.
he can’t tell either
Always one ☝🏾
He’s not 😂
Man hell naw
High as a kite 🪁
Nothing like real peace and happiness i cant wait til i find it
It’s not out there. Life is pain with glimpses of happiness.
One of my favorite interviews Shawn !
I'm from Chicago, from the same affiliation, & know most of these rappers moms, dads & aunties, & was an addict for 25 years, & now work in the addiction field, & this dude is HIGH AS HELL right now!!! 💯
Facts!
That’s why he has the face mask on. Don’t want the cotton mouth to show.
I'm a recovering addict and he couldn't be More high!!! He's struggling big-time!!!!!!!
Hiding that froth 💭💭💭💭on his stinky ass mask smelling like A PORTA potty
I dnt even like dude BUT y'all ain't gotta hate on the man...give him a chance!!
BTW he has the mask on b/c his bottom round of teeth is FUCCED. Watch the whole interview closely & u see it a couple times when he gets "excited"
He is smoking weed probably high grain, and weed does indeed give you cotton mouth.. just be happy for people, and u probably capping for likes
Been a dex fan since 2016… he was in his prime with rich and Jay man…they were releasing top tier music back to back… and we all watched dex spiral and that’s okay. He’s come out on the other side. Hope he stays healthy, that’s really the most important thing.

I wasn't a fan of Famous Dex but after this interview I am now dude seem like a good person
He seems very genuine! Ego isn't as big as it could be.. which is rare
So proud of you Dexter I seen your ups and downs since 2015-2016 you are truly one of gods soldiers amen 💯
Y’all ain’t help me with shit fuck !! ..😂😂 proceeds to put shades back on 😏😎
Good now I can See When the drugs kicked In Dexter! 😂

May his ancestors be with him at all times!!! Dex been thru alot!
Dude just gained another fan. Thats dope and he just turning 30 i hate to say it the addiction was the best thing to happen to him because it brought him back to his lowest and made him start over with Dexter. The Real Dexter 🤟💪💯
Lost my pops to cancer,
I can understand spiraling out of control on alcohol and or drugs to deal with it.
Good luck Dex.
Lost my to pancreatic cancer April 30th this year I completely understand but by gods grace he got me back moving forward stay blessed my brotha
lost my dad to lung cancer in early 2020 and been in the same boat trying to deall with it
When Dex said he went to rehab and bumped his head, I immediately thought of that Busta Rhymes “Gimme Some More” video 🥴
26:20 that's a different type of pain He means every word he saying u can see it an hear it💯
About damn time! Lol! The art of giving the sauce one drop at a time. Great build up! Now I’m eager to watch the whole interview.
Dexter back poppin them zans
Dex is literally in my top favorite artist my boy really stayed consistent with shit we do miss Dex
I like how he apologized to Doug's mom's tale that he really meant it
They Still Not Telling Him To Put Tha Shit Down😂😂😂
That’s 100 to see him fighting addiction
That “PF” proud father comment almost made me shed a tear 😢 no lie
That's 🔥
Bro high now 😢
On EVERYTHING we just witnessed Rick James soul take over Dex's body🕺🏾
Dexterrrr and lil Durk song would hit different 👑
“ I just had a drug addiction” and you still do bruhh 😂😂
You can tell it's him even with the ski mask and glasses on 😂
This guy gives Orlando Brown vibes🤣🤣
What?
Drug addicts..
I wanna see famous dex and Orlando brown interview each ither
@@OutDoorsNitti Lmao me too🤣🤣🤣
Good to see Dex in good spirits
He high right now, don't let him lie to y'all, I can tell
Hell yeah me too bro
My son had the “Juelz Santana Syndrome” trying to hide his teeth LOL 😭
Mf high asf off drugs as hes doin this interview 😂🤦🏽
1000 percent
Hes lucky hes "allergic" to alcohol. Cuz if he mixed his drugs with alcohol too it couldve been curtains for him
God bless u Dex your mom is lookin down on u🙏
if he said shaun one more time i would’ve had a autistic meltdown
He can say what he want 🤐…..Shaun
Dude look worse trying to hide his teeth than he do just showin
you could see how the drugs hurt him by the way he talking he still fried sorry to hear that all i use to do was smoke some weed i wasnt wit all the pills etc
I'm happy for Famous Dex man. He cleaned up and Is a stand up Dude for Keepin it 100 to his fanz & his listeners.
These guys are all sooo talented, true talented trappers
If you’ve been around druggies in real life you’d know they constantly claim they are “sober” whole time they still tweakin
Now that was significant indeed with the question about having yes men around him.... As an ex addict it's super important to take responsibility for your own actions n not blaming ppl for were you are or are not in life.... With his answer being "it was me bro??"...fairplay black migo dex
Who notice Dex only have 2 Bottom Tooth ..Stay away from Drugs ...Dont be a Junky 😊
😂😂
yea i saw dem joints too lmao. hopefully he gets them fixed when he get his money. but kids that is what drugs do to your teeth. das why he wearing that mask because he dont want ppl to see his teeth.
Damn on which timestamp did yall see his bottom teeth??? N I was wondering why he was licking tht mask like tht m shit😂 it's really not funny doe 🤦🏾♂️
Does xanax make your teeth fall out or is it just a lack of dental hygiene from being an addict?
😂
Pretty sure dex is high through this interview.
He’s a real one fr . And he was so connected to mfs in Chicago I ain’t now that. And so respectful to mama duck…
Proud of my boy 💯
Really can't blame dex for being dex...imaging if all the other Chicago rappes took a different direction in music like king von ft post Malone or Durk ft Jay z...just different music 🎶
Incredible, gotta respect anyone who beats addiction!!!
PROUD OF YOU MAN🎉🎉
Bro just on a new drug
Probably antidepressants
Nah bruh right he just on meth it starts by smoking it then he shooting it and doing booty bumps😂
Dex should be the new “say cheese” logo.
Dexter should stay sober ❤
@@JamarcusReacts ☝🏽☝🏽🙏🏽
He ain't quit no drugs he has sunglasses on and I can hear the opiates in his throat I know that opiate slur
He has a slur cos he has no bottom teeth
Na bro definitely on drugs still
Bro.. my cuz white but fry call em rich black n I swear on everything everything about dex reminds me of em.. addiction is almost impossible to beat if you too dependent on it, you can literally die tryna stop…😢 I luv u dex❤
