The rapper walks through his redemption story with Tamron Hall.
Vic Mensa has come a long way since he broke onto the scene alongside Chance the Rapper in 2013. The"Blue Eyes", and in ET's exclusive clip of his visit, the musician reflects on the life-changing car crash that changed his entire trajectory.while driving a Range Rover back from the studio under the influence, Hall asks the 30-year-old musician how the crash served as an "impetus" for him to change the course of his life.
"You know, there was a point in time during that car crash that I just had to laugh at myself," Mensa confesses."I was just laughing at myself like, 'How ridiculous is this?' And thinking about coming into the music industry, you know, it's demanding. It can be a treacherous place."The rapper goes on to share that he had developed a habit of turning to dangerous vices when things became too difficult.
Since the crash, Mensa decided to live conscientiously, seeking help for his addictions and healing from his self-destructive path. Last month, the rapper celebrated two years of sobriety and"building the best version of himself.""2 Years Sober 🎊," Mensa began his post."In many ways i would liken it to running up hill - at first it is difficult, but after time your strength increases, your endurance increases.
Mensa added that he has"gotten used to saying no," and rarely shows up to"the club" anymore, and if he does, it's only for"6.3 minutes," he joked,"but more likely not at all."
