The young artist took to Twitter to share a message with his fans, writing “Ima leave that shit alone 4 good watch me.. I’m done w it. I got work to do, a lot.”

His girlfriend Ally implored him to follow through, which prompted him to open up and apologize for some of his past behavior. “Bae I’m sorry I be tweaking, you’ve put up with more than ppl know I know I be scaring you,” he writes, before doubling down on his decision to quit. “Fuck Codeine I’m done. I love you and im letting it be known publicly that ain’t shit fucking up the real love I found. Learn from this everyone. Addiction kills all but you can overcome.” 

Best of luck to Juice WRLD, who showed a great deal of maturity in admitting his faults and looking to make a positive change.
