In this clip, Bubba Sparxxx spoke about battling his addiction during the height of his fame after “Ms. New Booty” came out, and he explained that while it should’ve been a great time, he was miserable. When asked how much he was spending a day on his addiction, Bubba explained that it started out at $50 to $100, and rose from there. After the success of his single, Bubba revealed that he went to rehab for the first time, and he explained that he was clean for a year once he got out. While speaking about his rock bottom, Bubba said he felt a sense of impending doom, which made him seek help.

Glad Bubba is alright, best believe it takes a lot of strength to talk about this.
I remember I was taking up to 10 Roxie 30s a day. That addiction is the worst I can relate to Bubba you can destroy your life, loved ones, especially family relationships shit is sad. But there’s always a way out 💪 I am 1 year and 2 months clean now from opiates.
How did u do it cold turkey or suboxene
Congrats! Stay strong 💪
@@Kai10benny I went cold turkey its easy frfr just gotta put ya mind to it plus i never became physically addicted
@@malox9767 definitely not easy don't care how strong u are mentally that type of physical and mental pain is in the ballpark of giving birth
@@malox9767 yea it probably was easy since you weren’t physically addicted 🤦♂️
Great to see him taking responsibility. In this interview he didn't once blame anyone else for him not having as much success as he could have.
Real shyt, big respect for taking accountability !💪🏾💯
yeah bubba is a real ass dude. i can see why dudes like timbaland, struggle and jelly roll fuck with him
That's because he's a real man.
People like "Lil Xan" are just a little b*tches! Especially for blaming their own faults on others when in reality they brought all that unnecessary BS onto themselves! It takes a mature & solid individual to accept responsibility for their own mistakes. Taking accountability isn't something that's very common these days. Right or wrong, a real man stands tall & accepts his fate, no matter what the situation may call for. That's part of what makes him a man.
Sadly, these days we live amongst a bunch of 🤡 pretending to be something they're not. They don't even accept who they truly are, let alone any accountability for a real life mistake. 🙄😒🤦♂️🤣🤣

I’m not paying for this shit.. make it free, BMF Vlad
Very forthcoming- excellent interview. Salute bubba and Prez.
Loooveeee this guy and his music graduated in 08 swishahouse and our era of music was everything
Right, I fw bubba heavy but to this day if I hear deliverance, I still think of trae and z-ro-fuck with yall
Yup we were the last ones to get to experience a more vibrant life! Same age as you!
"A lot of times when people try the geographical cure, ya know, try to move somewhere else. They forget that they take themselves with them."
That is one of the hardest comments on addiction that I have ever heard. Respect Bubba K.
Yea that hit me too. I’ve always wanted to move away from where I currently am as a means to a solution for undesirable circumstances. I slowly started to realize that even if I moved to heaven nothing would change if my mentality was still hellish.
That hits hard
Real shit💯
I am glad to hear Bubba Sparxxx's story... S/O to him & Dro for their recovery!
Once you’re deep deep into addiction there is never enough pills. Never.
Thats the absolute truth!
Glad to see he overcame this. That's true you can find drugs in any neighborhood so moving doesn't help it. Majority of addiction is a mind game! Deliverance is still on of my top 10 songs!
That's profound. "People forget that they take themselves with them. They have to take he solution with them."
I'm the product of a mother who overdosed from pills in 1986. She left behind three children 12, 11 & 9. The pain and misery of addiction has destroyed entire families. 💔
I didn't know Bubba was going thru it like that I feel you brother I'm from West Virginia Xanax, Lortab, Roxies are BIG there much love BIG guy 💯💯
*_I like his Patagonia shirt!! I absolutely love Patagonian shrimp. It is sooo good!!_* 😋
That's CRAZY! I have always liked bubba, very respectable kind of guy. This is new information for me though, I see why he went MIA for awhile. ✌️🔆Much love though
Thanks Bubba for shedding some honest light on this all to common progression of drug use ...I started out tabs to Roxies to Black n just lucky I never did fentanyl
Damn dem 30s dope fiend status glad he made it thru the fire 🔥
Damn I didn't know all this about him and the way he's talking about it I have real respect for him as someone that's in recovery as myself big respects bubba I hope you never fall off the wagon again!!
Collipawk bubba sparks !
Anyone know the name of the Bubba Sparxxc song where the chorus goes “imma get you so addicted” ?
3:00 when he tries to change the subject and Shawn doesn't let him, amen. When dealing with someone who pops pills or has mental health issues you HAVE to address them head on.
Jon B and Emienm and Bubba Sparkxx and Just Timberlake all get respect in the black hip hop community.
Dont forget lil wyte
Can’t forget about Slim Jesus right guys?😂
Paul Wall get more respect than most

Y’all might wanna check city to city and hood to hood before y’all just hand out all these passes….
Bubba and Pettie + Ying Yang Twins had Detroit lit in the early 2000's
So glad Shirley is no Longer doing interviews for Vladtv.
I was doing 250mg+, injecting. Been away from it for 12 years, bought a house, have two beautiful kids. Don't give up if you read this. YOU are a capable.
"The flu" is where we all realize addiction. Most addicts take several times in rehab to finally get it
Time for crunchy black to come back sober tho
Fireball shawty
This is the most common thing and amount amongst Roxie users 10-20 a day n u start at tabs move up to Rs then to Black...tell me how many people can relate to that progression....I grew weed so 200 a day didn't sent me financially but years went by of doing this things happened n u look for the cheaper stronger thing n Fenty is it for the kids now got out B4 I could kill myself with that shit...it's a struggle n just b there for ur loved ones when they r ready it affects all walks of life n u can't force anybody to get clean well stay clean if they aren't ready...thanks bubba for shedding some honest light on this
😂😂 He high right now
Already left my story of painkiller addiction under another part of this interview.... I talked about how I I have had many completely necessary surgeries and started out legitimately needing the painkillers.
Just wanted to get the message out there again... it is definitely not easy get away from painkiller addiction... so try to be understanding of why a person can just not immediately. Stop.
Remember everyone's addiction may not be exactly the same.
It's okay to tell someone that you don't want them in your life until they are better... although some may not like that... that maybe one of the most helpful things you could ever do.
Also... even if you're in a situation where you would like someone to get help badly... it's obviously okay to give your opinion.. however... if you start trying to basically force them to go to rehab or stop taking medications... in many cases it will piss the person off even more and they are less likely to get the help they need and you want them to have.
Back when I was using for example... literally the more people that approached me and tried to make me give it up... I would actually want to use more... it's that don't freaking tell me what to do attitude.
Someone who is using needs to get help when they are ready... Not when the rest of the world is. When an addict is being pressured about rehab... Even if they agree to go... it's not going to help them. They have to want help on their own.
Did somebody force you to go to rehab, G-d did 💯🙏🏽💭🥇🐐
I’ve tried to watch this interview w an open mind, but this dude acts as if he was some iconic emcee. He was a novelty act straight up and down. His success was based on the south starting to water down mainstream rap and that he was white. Nobody really rooted in the culture was rocking w Bubba Sparx.
Yea, im surprised he can balance his big head.
False
Even them novelty acts 2 hit 3 hit wonder niggas was making milllions
@@williamsantana370 novelty acts don't continue to bleed for this shit after the hits fade away.
15 a day ain't no joke. It's a rough month, coming down from that bad of a habit.
why does shawn prez say “because” like that lol
Not gonna lie, I haven’t watched the video yet but just going off of the title; me personally, I’m doing the tour then going to rehab 😂
30s are 50-60 bucks a piece in the northeast now. So glad I have no desire to get involved in that shit anymore.
Why is the interviewer only asking questions about his addiction. Like, we get it, he was hooked on pills. Can we please move on....
I believe that cause in 2018 I was taking 13 perc tens daily and sippin atleast a duce a day of lean wit it coming off that many percs is hard as f I’m glad I get a prescription of suboxone now
The subs and methadone is a trap though. You got people in them clinics that have been there 20 years. I took me two years to realize that. There was no treatment. I took myself down 5mgs every other week from 130 and got the fuck outta there. Even weaning myself off, the withdrawal was like torture without sleep.
You believe he was taking 300-450mg of oxy a day because you yourself were taking 130mg of oxy a day ?
8mg of Suboxone equals 120mg of oxycodone, hope ya atleast tapered down the sub dose to where it makes sense because the Suboxone is alot harder to get off of.
@@chancegregg I hear you man. I got tired of the cycle the oxys had me in so 28 months ago I got on subs. I was familiar with the equivalency chart so when I told the doctor that I was taking 270-300mg of oxy a day and he told me 20mg of Suboxone would best suit me I knew it was a trap from the get go. I let him write the script for that much knowing in the back of my head he was just saving me time and money little did he know because I had no intention of taking that much. Took 12mg for three days, went down to 8mg for two weeks, then down to 6, to 4, to 2. Jumped off at around 0.75mg a day and it was still hell honestly, nearly three months clean but still not normal. The opiates rewire the brain completely. But we both know that. Cheers
I know what some think but suboxen saved my life. I know some won't agree but like some diabetic takes meds to live some addicts take suboxen to live.
@@melaneybarnett1860 kratom is the best alternative
Addicts wanna quit daily but would rather not b sick than stop n even if I get clean it just gets it's hooks in u n the whole routine of it becomes life
The interviewer should be a rehab counselor
it's crazy how fast your body will build up a tolerance. you can catch a 10x 30mg/day oxycodone habit real fast if you have them available.
You take a perc for 3 days str8 and the body begins to develop a tolerance
@@williamsantana370 i was like bubba. i always had ibs or some kind of fucked up stomach issue my whole life, so when i first started getting wds i didn't know that's what was happening, i thought i was just having one of my normal bubble gut episodes. (i had flipped a car going about 100mph on the highway, and was lucky or unlucky to be alive depending on how you want to look at it, but i fucked my neck, back, and shoulder up bad, and never got it fixed because i didnt have insurance. here i am coming up on almost 20 years later and still never got it fixed dealing with sciatica, arthritis, losing feeling in my extremities sometimes, circulation getting cut off, and all kinds of pain, but a year or two after it happened i did end up going to a doctor for the pain and was way overprescribed oxycodone. can't even remember the last time i got a good night's sleep. i'm constantly exhausted, grumpy, and i'm always real short with people and i don't even mean to be, i'm just in serious pain, and i get 0 rest. chronic pain is a serious issue, but because of all the people who aren't really suffering from injuries abusing the medicine, and bad governments, doctors and pharmaceutical companies capitalizing on the multi-billion dollar a year market, people like me who really can't get out of bed in the morning we're in so much pain, then we need to get up and go work hard physical labor jobs with broken bodies all day, that really need pain meds and have no intentions of abusing them, will always be treated like junkies thanks to the fuckin retards who'll rob their own mothers and sell their kids into slavery so they can shoot a bag of dope in the fucked up abscess at the surface of their collapsed veins) once i started learning more about the effects of opiates i started realizing that i was actually having wds. when i was younger i could deal with them and still go about my day normally like it was nothing. my body used to recover fast when i was younger, from anything. whether it was injuries, sickness, withdrawals... whatever. i was in pretty good shape and recovery came easy. nowadays if i were to go on a binge the wds would debilitate me i'd have to lay in bed for weeks and there's no way i could do it. i'd have to have some benzos and other comfort meds. even to go out drinking for one night i'll be fucked up for a week. getting old sucks.
How to get off the shit it’s the worst thing I could’ve ever liked in my life I feel like nothing without the shit
10 to 15 for a perk 30 was cheap back then now y'all new age pay 30 for a perk an dying off em smh
fake ones too 👀
Yeah man, going from 10/15 tabs to 10-15 Roxy 30s … that’s a HUGE Difference… when the blues were popular I only got up to a few a day.. I could do wayy more but if it was just me - not that many, but I was paying over double what he was , not in the beginning but by the time EVERYONE was on them they got up to 4050$/pop 😔
You speaking straight facts
Tru now it's all fent 30s
@@botanicalwarehouse4730 right.. not sure how they are where you live, but where I’m from- they give you a rush for about 30 minutes and it’s gone and people still want 40$ for them.. it’s like nahh … I actually know someone that gets prescribed the real ones and every once in awhile they come off a few
Bro 2019 30s going for $20 $25...pandemic hit them same 30's going for $60 smfh....lets say alot of dealers got killed and robbed
@@williamsantana370 yeah no way I’d pay 70$ for one of those.. just buy some dope.. that’d cost me 200$/day vs $50 or less/day ….but when the loans 40s stop sign we’re the only thing there was a sudden drought and overnight they went up to $150/pill … rare occasion I got a whole one i usually had to split one with my buddy, but thank the Gods those devil pills are no more
God did!
Dam 15 you lucky you live through that high most people don't even come back from 5 crazy
replay at 12:15 pm
People don’t know about that strip club life in the TAMPA BAY AREA!
I snorted 8-10 30mg Oxycodones a day. When I stopped it was a horrible experience a d never wanna repeat it again. I feel Bubbas issues. I had the pain management scrip for them. Before I got hooked I was part of the Pill Mill train in Miami. Shit is crazy. And opiates are the Devil
Dam bro
So yall was making fake pills
Doesn't it just make you drousy though
Eminem bubba sparks and machine gun Kelly need to make a trap rap group called the 3 gringos
Shout out to Prez for literally DOING IT FOR THE CULTURE......... I'm a long time Vladtv fan, and as much as I love the juicy gossip and background stories; I'm glad that Prez adds an element of seriousness to his interviews. He's low-key like your OG uncle who turned to God in his early 40's....lol
I joke, but we need that in our culture... An "unk" who gonna ask the real questions that get to the root of our issues....
I love hearing about the behind the scenes of "describe that moment we the gun went off"(Vlad voice)..... But sometimes we needa hear those questions focusing on exposing these vices that plaugue out communities... In my opinion Prez focus's his interviews more from a perspective of true concern, than that of gaining "street insight"
*PS... With all that said, I still want Vlad to do what he doing asking these fools these fed ass questions....lol.. we know u ain't no fed Vlad, just a white man(not gonna say 'white boy', feel like it low key disrespect to call any man a 'boy') who grew up adjacent the culture and genuinely cares about it.....
From Boston 👌🏿
Grew up with a few of u guys...lol
Shout-out to "white bread"

vlad is a clown dude. he's a culture vulture. all he cares about is lining his own pockets.
Tampa was the worst place to go to get off opiates
Very depressing part of the interview
Stop it Bubba ! Some of us don't wanna get depressed
I was taking 30 10mg hydrocodone a day. I'm still trying to quit by taking this Suboxone shit.
The Suboxone helps when you really want to quit! I started last year taking Suboxone but I wasn't really ready I was just trying something. But when I had enough and was really rdy to quit I took the Suboxone and it really helped me
What did it do for you? Why was you taking them?
M box 30s or A215s were 🔥 before the fent took over

all he wants to ask about is drugs and the ugly past. lets talk about the music and the positive dro was enough for me we get the point . stay away from drugs
15 30s a day is NUTS
30s are fake. Percocet only come in 5-10-15-20 mg.
@@asav6649 he said he was doing 15 ROXY aka Oxy 30s a day. Those are absolutely real I used to do them back in the day when the street ones were still real. It’s a 30 mg pill that’s straight oxycodone no Tylenol.
@@Thatguy55595 ok thanks for that info lol but like I said...there not Percocet! They may be made by the same company but I even doubt that. It wouldn't make sense financially to sell a 30mg pill....when your company is making Millions off of 5-20s smh if that makes sense. Take your time and read it over lol
@@asav6649 your right but ppl mistakenly call them Perc 30s. When they should be calling them Roxy 30s
@@Thatguy55595 you definitely right about that! I'm just mad at the whole drug game being commercialized now because of social media. The amount of OD won't go down cuz ppl gettin the wrong information faster then they can get the right information. I've been there too. I'm just more of a thinker. I ain't perfect tho. Hope ppl are thinking about stuff before they do it. All it takes is 1 pill these days. I'm not even joking smh
Tampa isn't strip club capital it's ATL correct that Miami
God did 🙌
15 Percs a day… lol
make 97 parts per interview
Moral to the story... Without drugs most artists wouldn't be able to make these songs
Yea drugs and alcohol… they being doing that since ray Charles tho
@@California-king right! But imagine if people had to be sober and live a clean life.. the world wouldn't be so poisonous
Idk if you want to bring up the fact you did a girl's gone wild video. Them women are coming back and suing years later
10 dollars for a 30….where they do that at….they go for 30$ or more now
Seen this dude live at strawberry Sundays in Montebello. Honestly he showed up for only like five minute set and bounced
He should have stocked up

He was taking D12 blue and yellow purple pills.
What exactly is a Perc, I ain’t come across them in the UK
A perk is oxycondone with Tylenol
It's pain medicine
@@skittles3876 What’s the actual name of the drug tho?

fentanyl now
15 percs a day ??? What da fucck
I have a serious question for anyone out there… what does Percs do to your body that people love?
I’ve never tried any of these drugs so just wondering.
I popped then and played ps5 … when I stopped I could play ps5 no more… but that’s me…. I really don’t see the big deal to be honest
Its a euphoric high.
First 🥇
Damn Weed, Percs, Cocaine and drinking
I was on 15 oxy 80s a day I kicked it wit bubba in st George Utah he a real one
I will not use today.
You got it
The good ole days pills was cheap compared to now
I’ve been familiar with opiates since the age of 17. Im now 30 and there is absolutely no way I could take 10 opiates a day. He was very addicted. White ppl can take more drugs than black ppl also. It seems like that anyway. I saw this mixed Mexican and white guy take 10 at one time and proceed to do tattoos for me and two other homies
Yeah cuz he ain't getting on that stage anyways without the pills so best thing to do was to get help
Opioids are the worse you feel physically I’ll when you don’t have em
Oxycodone is hell of a drug! But we dont have hydrocodone here in israel...🤬
🤦🏿♂️
My record is 37 perc 5s in one day. I went through withdrawal when I quit that lasted for two weeks. No exaggeration.
congratulations
😜😋😜😋
I'm a doctor I took perks look for every major surgery to calm my nervous system, now I just take them nightly for good rest. I definitely recommend them to everybody with insomnia

Dem shits must be weak if the tolerance build dat fast. Ion get it lol

i was popping 13narcos 10 milg to star my day yellow watson by then if the day i was at 40 pills a day
Ain’t no way he was taking 15 perc 30s a day
Oh yesss it's very possible when you addicted to them. He wasn't taking them all at once but through out the day is what he's saying!
I find that hard to believe as well. If so, it's just stupid.
No fucking problem .. you're crazy if you don't believe it's possible
Juice wrld was taking 20 a day depend how ur body takes it
It’s very possible. I was taking 4 at a time and then an hour later popping 2 more to boost back up. Another couple hours go by boom taking 3 and then 1. It’s a strange cycle but I’ve easily taken 15 in a day before. It ain’t NOTHING you want ANY part of.
Wtf does " probably doing cocaine" mean. Just be real if you're gonna do interviews about that stuff if you claim to be real and truthful . I could understand that some drugs got big stigmas attached to them and it's embarrassing like cocaine, but be realistic, "probably doing some cocaine". Smh.
Doing drugs is all fun and games until you fans crying over them when they OD lol
Pin me, Vlad. Pin meee! Lol 😆 🙋🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️🤗🤗📍
Y’all think he lien??? Lmk….
not one bit, you ever see anyone with a legit opiate addiction wether heroin ect, it gets outta control quick, i made alitttlw over 100k last year and my addiction is just insane so how can you question a literal millionaire about the height of their addiction especially to opioids, it’s insane not to believe someone being transparent like that, and why would you question someone being open and honest about their troubles? you know people that lie about being addicts? lol weird flex i guess
I mean a dead man can’t perform
