He also mentions how he was raised like that. He also said that he did not want to get into it in that interview out of respect for Mac.īack to “Candy.” MGK, in the song, talks about how he needs the drugs to stay out of his own head and to fix the damage he has endured/is enduring.
Despite this, the hosts noticed that MGK still continues to use drugs and talk about them in his music video, and he mentions that he has tried to stop, and even gotten into fights with members of his entourage because of their concern for him.
