Lil c rapper died from sizzurp video

A pharmaceutical company has announced that they will cease production of a prescription cough syrup due to its association with drug sizzurp. Purple drought: Actavis has announced the discontinuation of their cough syrup, due to the celebrity glorification of its use in making sizzurp - as displayed here in an Instagram photo from rapper Soulja Boy.

Sizzurp originated in Houston in the s and has since spread via urban music communities in the southern states to mainstream teenagers via modern glorification of the drug on social media and in lyrics and music videos. Mysterious cup: Justin Bieber was seen drinking out of a type of Styrofoam cup associated with making sizzurp during his birthday celebrations in March.

Purple drank: Pop star-cum-career car wreck Justin Bieber and rapper Lil Wayne, who suffered seizures last year after a codeine overdose, are both said to be big fans of sizzurp. Clever boy: Soulja Boy often posts photos on Instagram which includes a bottle of the Actavis prescription cough syrup. It is made by mixing codeine cough syrup, its colour gives the right hue to the drink, and soda, most often Sprite or Mountain Dew, and Jolly Rancher candy for extra sweetness.

The drinker experiences an immediate, euphoric high as well as drowsiness and lethargy, and sometimes also hallucinations. The amount of cough syrup in each serving of sizzurp can see a drinker consume 25 times the recommended dose of codeine and promethazine. In , rapper Lil Wayne, a known sizzurp fan who even wrote song Me and My Drank about the drug, collapsed and suffered multiple seizures.

Sizzurp seize-up: Rapper 2 Chainz has been charged with codeine possession following his arrest last year at Los Angeles International Airport when authorities say he was found with 'sizzurp ingredients' in his baggage.

Lean or purple drank is a polysubstance drink used as a recreational drug.

Earlier this month, rapper 2 Chainz was charged with felony drug possession after his arrest last year at Los Angeles International Airport when airport officials reported finding ingredients for sizzurp in his checked baggage. The year-old entertainer, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday on a felony charge of codeine possession.

In March, Justin Bieber was photographed drinking from the type of Styrofoam cup linked to the drug and insiders claim the pop star spends much of his time smoking marijuana or consuming sizzurp, which is referred to by the singer and his pals as 'lean'. Sizzurp has also been linked to the deaths of rappers Pimp C in and Big Moe in , who both died of codeine overdoses.
