Complex: Now there’s a lot of talk of Wayne having an addiction. He’s even addressed it. Have you reached out to him about it at all?
Bun B: No, because Wayne isn’t the only person I know that maybe has addiction issues, and if I call Wayne, then I have to call everybody. I love Wayne, I respect his talent, I’ve watched him grow up, but I don’t think it’s really my place to go to him and say, hey I don’t think you need to do this. I’ll send a general message to anybody who’s maybe living a little bit unhealthy. Whether you’re having sex without condoms, you might want to think about that, if you’re smoking too much cigarettes or drinking too much alcohol, or you’re eating too much cholesterol and fatty acids, or that high-fructose corn syrup, you might want to watch that shit. All that shit is unhealthy, and at the end of the day, everybody kind of knows what they’re doing and how they’re living, but just because Ike Turner died from a cocaine overdose, I’m pretty sure all the people he snorted cocaine with didn’t stop. Everybody does what they’re going to do. I hate to say it’s just a phase, but it’s just a moment in time that people have to learn to get over themselves.Complex: Do you plan on doing anything to stop it personally?
Bun B: I stopped sipping syrup seven or eight months ago, because of the thing Wayne was saying about the stomach shit. But my thing is, my stomach was hurting anyway when I was sipping, so I was like my shit is fucked up anyway, so I might as well deal with it. It just got old for me. It got to the point where sipping a deuce or sipping a four don’t do it for you, so you’re literally going to have to start sipping eights and pints on a consistent basis and I wasn’t ready to give myself over to that shit like that. That’s just me. Now when it comes to weed, I’m ready to smoke more and more, even better, stronger, and more highly concentrated levels of THC weed. That’s what I want, so I have my own vices and flaws that somebody has to reach out and say, “Yo Bun, maybe you don’t need to smoke so much weed.” So I can’t point the finger at Wayne, because I have people that can point the finger at me.Even still we had to cise ya'll wit this Wayne joint:
