Danny Brown went in on his label and management during the latest episode of The Danny Brown Show. However, after urging fans to launch the #FreeDanny campaign, he's back-peddling his comments. The rapper accused Warp Records and his manager, Dart Parker, of delaying the release of Quaranta. He said that he turned the album in without any sign of urgency from his label. Shortly after, he urged fans to put an end to the hashtag, admitting that he drunkenly made these statements. As a result, Danny Brown said that he would be entering a rehab facility for his struggles with alcohol abuse.
“Aye chill out with all the #FreeDanny shit I was drunk and talking shit and that’s why my dumb ass is checking into treatment tomorrow got nothing but love for dart and warp so chill out the album is mastered,” the XXX rapper tweeted. A fan later brought up the fact that he told fans to “harass Dart." In response, Danny Brown explained his comments are why he needs to seek treatment. “That’s why alcohol is something I need to be done with cause it makes me hurt the people that care the most,” he wrote.
Danny Brown Confirms Rehab Stint
Danny Brown never shied away from discussing his struggles with substance abuse throughout his career. Unfortunately, he became known for that as he blew up. However, the rapper confirmed in the past few weeks that he would admit himself into rehab. In an earlier episode of his podcast, he revealed that he would enter a treatment facility soon. He confirmed the news during his appearance at SXSW as he and JPEGMAFIA began the rollout for Scaring The Hoes. He apologized to fans if they felt encouraged to consume drugs due to his music.
“At the end of the day, I’m 42 years old, sitting around smoking blunts all day, and getting drunk is getting old. Y’all have y’all fun but sh*t could get dark,” Danny Brown explained on stage, per Vibe. “I’m going to get help. Honestly, my dumba*s supposed to been gone, but I’m broke so I gotta do shows to take my a*s in, so shoutout to Dr. Martens… I’ma go do my lil time, but I will say this, I made so many songs about doing drugs … sometimes I feel bad about that shit … if I fu**ed your life up, I’m sorry.” Prayers up for Danny Brown during this time.
