Lil Xan Deserves His Failure
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 03. 2022
- Lil Xan was once in what seemed like an unlosable situation. Three apartments in LA, the most viewed music video on Lyrical Lemonade, and a booming social media presence. Over the last few years however, this has changed dramatically. It would appear as though he doesn't have $30,000 left to claim full ownership of his Mercedes Benz G Wagon, hinting at the rough seas he happens to be sailing through. However, if Lil Xan had simply made a few different decisions, his downfall might have been avoidable.
From Mac Miller, to Soundcloud rapping, to Lil Xan's victim complex, this is, Why Lil Xan's Career Died / Lil Xan Deserves His Failure.
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2 XO ❤

“I just can’t sit down for 7 hours a day”
Homie that looks like all you can do
fr.. dudes probly sitting around playing CoD in slowmo and bitchin cause he sucks.
lmaooooo
7 hours sober... no way... lmao
@mVP wtf does sitting down for 7 hours have to do with skin tone???
@mVP Like yo mama
You can tell all the “friends” around him during his interviews don’t actually like him, they’re just there for the ride.
Never Stop Never Stopping.
It’s the same with all people who want to be famous. I’ve seen this personally. They want yes men around them.
That and or equally lost/tarded
@@BlekJamal I think anyone who wants fame is at least a little lost.
I see nothing wrong with that. If you see someone that's gonna crash and burn no matter what you might as well stick around and watch
I can't believe Lil' Xan had an entire apartment just to store his gardening tools.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
underrated
He was obviously not even wealthy yet, rappers don't brag about renting multiple apartments, he sounded like a dime store rapper. Taking out loans to buy cars he can't afford and renting multiple apartments, not even getting a house. Sounds like he didn't lose it all, he never really had anything,
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lil Xan wildin' out cause they woking with a u t h e n t I c v i e w s craftin' that crazy flow. All that work payin' off now they album on repeat.
I'm only surprised he's managed to stay alive. Dude seems like he has to remember to breathe constantly.
That's what you get for being messed up on benzos constantly, wish these SoundCloud rappers would stop glamourising this Xanax shit
@@turnip5359 for real. I think of every kid who's life he's ruined being a shitty influence any time I start to feel even a little sympathy for his situation. Now I just wanna see the tmz special where he's a literal bum on the streets.
Yeah, he has a dull, dead look on his face. Like there's nothing working behind those eyes.
@@turnip5359 yeah xanax fucking sucks ass.
@@GorillionDollars Look at him doing an interview at 10:21. Hes like a completely different person. Clearly a sober moment in his life.
The only thing that surprises me about Lil Xan is that he ever became famous in the first place.
yet he was still like “ i’m gonna quit music and be a celebrity “ 😭
I love it
As a brit I've never heard of this guy, but him being famous says more about his fans than him. Baffling.
Yeah. He has zero talent. It was a mix of luck, knowing the right people, and his idiotic gimmick.
It's because of noah cyrus mileys cyrus sister
People like me struggling to manage money and to save a couple of bucks while these people are melting hundreds of thousands of dollars and then stupidly damaging the products they spent that money on.
It genuinely pains me. They're so ungrateful for what they have, people like us can only dream of having that much money in our life
Seems like you gotta have alot of talent, or sell yourself or your soul to be able to be famous
anyone stopped you from becoming artist?
@@codylonechild5383 or be apart of the island boys
Well like T-Pain said rappers like him & the Soundcloud era rappers they were lead to believe as long as they kept rapping they would have infinite money to do dumb shit like this or worse (T-Pain bought a lambo and sold it in less than a day for 80% less than what he bought it for just because he could) since they would make it back in like a few months.
But like J. Cole said in 1985 they only blew up because of a trend and when their audience grew up they would fall off like Lil Pump, Lil Skies, Lil Xan, Smokepurpp, etc. Rappers who people liked when they were 14 - 16 but after they grew up and it wasn't a trend to idolize people like this they quickly became broke and irrelevant in the industry more so being punching bags every time it's was revealed how little units they sold & how no one was attending their shows.
Ya for real. I work two jobs and barely scrape by. I'll never own a house or a car and unless I can figure out how to fail you for once it'll stay that way.
He looks like a vampire who just woke from sleep. He could be the third Island Boy for all we know.
Does he have a disability by chance? I’m sorry I’m not trying to be rude jw
He’s sober now

@@fisherdoggler7237 like he obviously fucked up, didnt really use his chance/position he had, but Why would u roast someone that clearly doesnt think straight?
@@369fs4 I’m sure he can operate and think just as well as most people he’s clearly just lazy and undisciplined not saying he deserves to be clowned on but he does deserve all of the financial issues he’s found himself in.
@@TrillVinity well i somehow agree because in the end its our choices that matter, or mistakes from which we have to learn, however with some cases it begins at young age and they may never get a chance to rehabilitate, you know like they are just fucked up from the start and shit

Seeing him in the driver's seat of a car while he's so fucked up he can't even keep his eyes open is truly terrifying.
🤣
when you have a nice car you love just try getting that fucked up without going & sitting in it
And shit like that is what kids these days think is “cool” promoting or supporting this kind of movement is only hurting this nation even more

@@roboticunclephil I have a 2004 Toyota Tundra for the past 7 years that just chugs through anything you throw at it and hasn't had any engine issues. I love this old-ass truck. Never considered getting into it while under the influence of anything.
For anyone contemplating dropping out of high school: "Learning stuff you don't need" is not the reason we value high school graduation. But trust me, you don't want to be known as a person who couldn't handle high school. It's never going to be a good look.
The cat on the table is more active than Lil and 10 times smarter.
"the industry just doesn't care, they just want you to pump out hit records, then when you're useless to them just leave you in the dirt".... young fella had to learn the hard way people don't pay you for doing nothing

He wanted to be a professional photographer until his camera was stolen. Then he decided to take up music. That should tell you everything about whether he has a passion for music or not.
Another example is his reaction to Mac miller passing. If his inspiration disappears doesn’t mean you can’t continue. He laid off too many times so people got bored of him
He deserved what he got. I don't feel sorry for him one phreaking bit. Make your bed and lay in it, spoiled little pansy B*^&*!

It’s not that his music is just terrible
@Tetrazole or lost links i think
There is something to be said about the negative effects of "suffering from early success" and not understanding or learning what it takes to actually be successful.
When I changed careers and started my first big boy "commercial B2B sales" job, through almost complete beginners luck and no effort, I landed several large sales that made me think I was awesome and my job was easy. Im a really hard working person but seeing success come easy gave me the false belief that I didn't really need to do much and I'd still be successful, and in that time I didn't learn the tools necessary to actually be successful.
Fast forward several months and it was a complete 180, I almost had to start over and it was extremely discouraging and stressful feeling like I was only getting worse, when I just hadn't been putting in the effort necessary to do my job. Thankfully I figured that out before it was too late
After
I love videos like these, they warm my heart😊. Oh and look, next up is How Lil Pump Ruined His Career...have no clue what a Lil Pump is but judging from the thumbnail, this is gonna be good. Can't wait🤗
you a weirdo
I'm not a T-Pain fan, but I think comparing his career to Lil Xan is a far reach and unfair. Not only did T-Pain have a few more hits, he has hit songs that he guested, collaborated or produced. You can tell T-Pain had a strong work ethic. Plus, not for nothing, 20 years since he first hit big and I still see T-Pain all over TV and stuff.
totally agreed. TPain is a popular twitch streamer too.
I agree, plus you can see outside of his music career he’s productive in other things like live streaming. He’s actually a great guy.
He's been on Bar Rescue too within the past 4 years or something lmao.
The biggest difference is that T-Pain is actually... you know. _Talented._ He's a genuinely skilled singer and songwriter.
I’m in shock that anyone on the planet would even think to make this comparison… LMFAO
Look at his demeanor, attitude and the way he speaks for ten seconds and you know the music industry would chew him up and spit him out. Dude never had a chance to go past one hit wonder/fifteen minutes of fame
Ever wonder why? Sure he's fuckin up, but why? Does he look well? Would you say he enjoys his life. Is he a fufilled person? I'd say he's probably suffering, just miserable, running away from pain at every turn.

I dropped out of school because of low grades but thankfully, I've been decently successful in every field job I've had. Fast food was the worst time I had but still climbed up the ladder rather quickly and now I'm currently managing 2 Smoke Shops and a wonrking on opening piercing studio. Never liked school but I've always liked making money 😅
If there is ever a day when SunnyV2's channel dies (IT WON'T) I could only imagine the backlash from all these type of his videos talking about other people falling off, however, never hate I love Sunny; keep going.
he's just make a video & title it "how i fell off" xD
How he even had a career is mind blowing.
Indeed, all these clowns
I SWEAR I CAN'T NAME NOT ONE SONG FROM HALF OF THESE SOUNDCLOUD RAPPERS THEY SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO J COLE BUT INSTEAD THEY INSULTED HIM NOW LOOK🫣🙄😒😔😔😬😌
These mumble rappers are trash, that's why. Lol
I know people throw "industry plant" around a lot, but I can't think of any other explanation. Like some promoter thought Xan was worth pushing, and it just didn't work out because he doesn't have the talent or charisma.
Betrayed was pretty good back in the day
Xan gives off the same vibe my druggie friends used to have back when we were young. Always in a perpetual state of intoxication. Which might explain why he doesn't go to the meetings with execs, probably too zonked to leave the couch. It might've affected his judgements with money too, on top of the stereotypical Soundcloud rapper lifestyle.
Compassion, empathy, rationality in this comment section? Madness I tell you lol
I was way more fucked up than this kid when I was young, wasn't half as selfish. Don't blame the drugs.
I knew all this about him back when I saw the name and thumbnail for that song back in the day. And especially when I heard how he spoke and rapped.
@@fritzfxx different drugs affect different people in different ways, lets use our critical thinking a little bit more next time
@@Cirbii You’re asking for way too much with these ppl bro. They don’t even know what that is.
I’m not sure what he expected? His style, music and even public persona seems like a one hit wonder, it’s already bad enough that he can’t even do the only job he has. You want to take a re-route from doing things like school or a career you better work because people forget you easily, and work very hard.
This would've been me when I was a teenager if I suddenly got rich. But if I came into money right now, I'd never stop working on projects because it's super easy to get comfortable and fall off.
It’s hard to feel bad for the guy when he made it so easy to hate him. Also when you hear the backstory of his career, and all of the once in a life time opportunities he had that he squandered it again makes it hard to feel bad. He sold out was his problem. What drew his original fan base was his humble start off. Filming a song in his room, it was relatable. As soon as he got a taste of fame though, he turned pretty much into a narcissist acting like no one was better than him and he could say and do what he wanted. And that’s what he did during all his public appearances. Showed up high as a kite and said very regrettable things without filter. He’s the perfect example of why you shouldn’t get too cocky.
I don’t think anyone does feel bad.

Ignorance
The fact that these clowns have a chance to make millions for doing nothing is criminal
They don’t make millions. Thats a giant lie, just look up “how many rappers went broke” or “rappers that went broke”. Almost all of it is fake and a lie, most of them are eating hand to mouth, having to tour non-stop, to stay relevant. It’s honestly a miserable fucking existence. They can keep the millions, I’m good.
He had every opportunity to make something of himself. More opportunity than 99 percent of us have. That's on him...
That’s exactly what I’m saying
99 per cent? That means for every 100 people you meet 1 of them have the opportunity this stooge had. He had a 1 in a million opportunity.

What really gets unde my skin about Xan is how he tried blaming his manager for drug problems. His manager was trying *everything* to get Xan away from drugs and the people who gave them to him. Honestly Xan deserves everything that's happened to him

Dude needs to grow up a little. Do some self reflection, understand his flaws and work on them.
Looks like his biggest issue is that he's dishonest with himself. Some people take longer than others to realize it, and some never figure it out.
If he ever wants to live even a decent life, he needs to figure that shit out. And maybe stop with the face tattoos.

Lil Xan drops out of high school and you proceed to put up a link of “50 successful people who dropped out of college”
Dropping out of high school and dropping out of college are 2 different things 😂
actually forgot about that guy until just now xDD maybe vanilla ice can take him under his wing
Fun Fact: The last time Lil Xan has made a song that got more views than this video was over 2 years ago. Even his downfall is more popular than him.
I know he has Token direct one of his new music videos and it wasn't that bad but I think it was because of Token
Ouch
Oof this comment hit different. Cheers Ender

Probably fucked his nervous system and his brain up from being a benzo addict
I love SunnyV2 since he's mostly telling me stories about CZcamsrs and people I have never even heard of. And the way he does it makes it appears like a murder case.
Couldn't say it better
@sity how youtube allowed this?
Mate can make a a Drama channel like Ricegum sound like a criminal activity
Everyone loves him and so do I.
and possibly the best documentary channel
this is so sad to see. never listened to lil Xan and never really cared but after watching this video he’s been through some shit growing up in redlands plus being a young kid addicted to drugs and getting rich and famous isn’t easy especially when no one guiding you or checking you. Didn’t know mac was his hero either, i cried so much when mac died.
The drugs definitely played a major part in this, since it can cloud your judgement. Although he is still responsible for making those decisions to begin with. I understand withdrawals and how bad they are. Once you go clean its hard to get back into what you loved doing, I struggled with that for about a year. But its something you have to ride out. He's probably doing rehab and taking suboxone to get off the other drugs. From there its just tapering off of that slowly until you dont need it anymore. After all that its getting away from the people that made use. He probably needs some antidepressants and more therapy to talk everything out with someone all this takes a long time. So it's up to him.
This story shows how dangerous complacency is.
also spending money with no care in the world
Kid wasn’t just complacent tho. He actively sabotaged himself, mostly with the money, and w saying dumb shit.
no complacency, he was just off the meds most of the time
Complacency and drug addiction
Yeah, I thought this has a lot of real-life lessons for people. I need to increase my own work ethic for starters
His explanation for owning 3 apartments was surprisingly solid

@@MenteMaestra91 only one apartment didn’t make sense the one for his mom and himself makes total sense the one for bitches is just stupid but at the same time not really because you don’t want all kinds of people coming in where you lay your head so it’s not technically dumb
Lmao….where do you keep your hoes?!
It’s still dumb
I know a guy just like Xan, in sure a lot of us do. Came into a massive amount of money then blew it all. No amount of money will fix their situation they will always end up on rock bottom until they change their lifestyle. If anything the easy success kind of is their undoing as they got lucky and never really knew how to be a success from the start
He's literally got tattoos for spectacles' nosepads impressions! I don't know if he took the easy way by not reading, or the hard way by hurting himself with those needles.
BTW before watching the video I thought Lil Xan is pronounced as "Little Christian".
Drug addiction, spending money like he's at the casino.. yeah there's a reason why people like this guy go bankrupt.
I remember vibing to some of his music then not hearing of him for years, Thanks for making those well worked videos where we learn the actual reasons why the fall down or disapear.

Sad to see Lil Xan waste his fortune and to hear about his mental health. As a Christian I wish the best for everyone and I hope he turns his life around.
@@Kage-jk4pj ew you're one of those
😐 u listened to him
He literally threw it away… it’s what happens when someone who hasn’t already built a work ethic, is launched into a position that requires very strong/passionate one.-
*LMAO!! 😅 I just remembered when my co-workers and I were crying in laughter when we were talking about Lil Xan being sent to the hospital bcoz of eating hot Cheetos.* 😂
i still remember when he said Tupac was boring, that moment i said you aint going nowhere, weather you like him or not you should always pay respect to those guys who paved the road for rappers to walk on
Plus regardless that statement is just wrong lol its not even a matter of preference, Tupac was like the least boring person ever even 25 years later just old stories and the conspiracies about Pac are more entertaining than Xans entire life story 😂
True, either that or be super disrespectful. You have to walk either streets if you want to be something, he tried to walk both. If your both, you can't profit from either and you just fail.
Don't forget, when he was approached at a gas station about it, he pulled a gun on two unarmed dudes.... and he kept on backing up, getting into his hummer or whatever basic crap and leaves, keep in mind HE is the one with the gun. Absolute pu$$y.
He told on the ppl controlled everything and was killed for it. Just like MLK and Kennedy.
He didn't pave anything lol he just made drug use appealing to 12 year olds.. amazing path
Its really hard to tell if he had the right people around him giving him good advice and he was just ignoring it, or if he had the wrong people around him giving him bad advice and he was listening to them.

I think this is less about someone who “deserved” their downfall and is more about the self-destructive behaviors of an addict. I hope things work out for Lil Xan it doesn’t seem like he’s hurting anyone but himself.
Completely agreed; and you can see it in his mentality as well as his stories, too
The irony in his song betrayed is palpable. He practically sang his downfall. Sad
Can't fully agree to this statement. Sure his drug addictions fueled part of his irresponsible behavior but the dude had shit grades and dropped out freshman year. That was before he became a rapper. He just wanted to be famous, rap, and get high like all the other rappers and his past shows he didn't care enough to put in the work. Just a lazy kid who let the fame take the driver's seat while he kicked back and did nothing to keep his career going.
Deserved in the sense that it was brought on by himself rather than he's a bad person who deserves what he got, drug addiction is a horrible thing and you can't always blame drug addicts for their behavior but its also not an excuse for it, that's why taking responsibility for the things you did is one of the biggest steps in recovery and also something he still seems to be struggling to do
This ain’t just addiction. That’s part of it. But he’s clearly been lazy and entitled his whole damn life.
All the fame went to his head. He started to think he was untouchable. I really hope someone teaches him how to pull his life together.
Dudes brain-dead already, its not looking good
Lol what fame?
The dudes like constantly on the verge of a xanax black out. He needs to quit that shit and he'd be doing much better. Probably needs an insane amount of bricks a day just so he doesn't lose his shit coupled with partying etc he's just drug fked. Obviously just likes the pity party and doesn't want to grow up and go through the hell of xanax withdrawal.
How can he pull his life together? He has no education, his career is finished, has a terrible personality, and he has no money. I think its only a matter of time before he's a beggar on the street.

The smashing of the tv hurts my heart. It was probably a nice tv.
Some kid that dropped out of High School in his freshman year is bad at managing his money?
What a shocker.
Sorry to break it to you but high school is completely useless. I would much rather drop out to test an actual job or study to some job I actually want. Plus wtf does that have to do with anything you don’t get money in high school and you don’t learn how to manage it in school either.
@@Raz-lw9vi huh? a high school education is the bare minimum you can even graduate early and get your GED. high school teaches you general knowledge that everyone should know such as basic math, language, history, and science. Too many people nowadays aren’t properly educated on things and spread misinformation. i get not going to college but unless your circumstances are extremely difficult there is no reason to not go. Also news flash lots of jobs require minimum high school and there are programs for students who want to go into trades.
@@leena5875 i did not graduate, I lied on my resume saying I graduated and got decent jobs no problem. I’m in college now and doing fine. Do I recommend it? Not really… but my life is not impacted by a diploma. A lot of history that is taught isn’t even accurate. It has a lot to do with intelligence, if you are stupid a diploma isn’t going to help you. If you are intelligent you can get by in life pretty well.
@Fabio Fabi it all comes down to perspective and backgrounds. And the value of money that ourself sees, though seeing struggles and loss.
@@leena5875 Most of what you said there was society telling you you need high school or you won’t get a job. There is obviously more to this but to me, high school is just teaching kids useless stuff that they’ll forget In the future, the only thing high school is good for is a degree. What you learn before high school, that’s actually useful. The school systems are often designed for a older type of society, makes it seem kinda outdated. Ofc don’t let this affect you depending on what you want in life, like if you wanna continue studying, definently finish high school. But me, my interests are not being brung up in school because society doesn’t want us to be entrepreneurs they want us to work with jobs that keeps society running, or making sure you can afford taxes etc. wow longest comment I’ve ever wrote I’m impressed if you made it this far
I wouldn't say he deserves it, im not to judge, but damn, everything could've been easily avoided if he just stood up and took some responsibility for his career, like dude this is your career you can't just literally sit down and watch it getting destroyed.
I think what he means by deserved is that it was done by himself and was completely in his hands to stop but he didn't hence why it's called "Deserved".

Even if his manager did supply him with the drugs he took them so he’s accountable for it.
I can totally believe that Xan convinced himself he was hard working and quitting drugs, but it was probably all just a delusion influenced by how often he took drugs.
11:55 he actually says he's now more of a celebrity than a rapper as if that alone (being famous) would be enough
I'm really not one to give any opinions on these dust bunny SoundCloud rappers but damn, it doesn't take a crystal ball to know their careers will be short lived.
Nah, I think Xan convinced himself he didn't _need_ to work hard or try. That line about quitting rapping to just 'be a celebrity' sings volumes about his actual understanding of the world or what he's doing. Celebrities don't just exist in a vacuum being wealthy. They _do_ something to achieve that status and they _keep_ doing things to maintain it.
Apparently in Xan's mind a tiny fragment of popularity translates to a self sustaining wealthy celebrity life.

To be fair, T-Pain wasn’t a good comparison cause he’s always remain pretty successful no matter what he’s a songwriter and always had a solid fan base and always delivered hits even when he has “ fallen off “ T Pain is one of the most important artists ever to the music industry, autotune is a norm now, he didn’t create it but he influenced it the most even pop stars use autotune
@@moldetaco2281 that buy you a drank performance was amazing 💯
Autotune is for the talentless.
@@mism847 depends on how you look at it, he was and is actually a great singer and the autotune works for him but I can almost guarantee most likely over 90% of artists use some form of autotune .. even the singers you probably think isn’t , when it comes to rap though that’s where I feel it’s over saturated but unfortunately rap isn’t centered around talent anymore it’s more about gimmicks
@@moldetaco2281 I concur 💯
@@mism847 Thing is, all big artists nowadays use it in one way or another. That doesn't mean auto tune is bad; it's just another tool to be used.
Happy to see lil xan doing better these days 👏👏👏
Anyone in hip-hop that says "Tupac is boring" shouldn't be in the rap game in the first place.
Hold up, he said this? Yea, he straight up deserved to fail.
As a kid who fell into drugs at 14, I cant hate him. I probably acted similarly at times before cleaning up. Sadly, I don't know if he can change without failing first. I can only imagine how sick I would have become if my incredibly stupid and selfish behavior as a kid had been rewarded with millions of dollars.
Exactly.
It’s insane the effect a poor work ethic can have on a person’s life. He had enough money to retire immediately and couldn’t look past the instant gratification.
Drug consumption below the age of 18 can have life changing effects on your mind. This is why theres an age restriction on it.
this is what i wish other people would realize. not many people have compassion for people who are on drugs, but it's so important that we do. they need it more than anyone. i don't want to go too deep into it, but i understand what you're saying completely. and i can't hate him either. all i want is for him to get better and hopefully pursue something he actually loves - like photography. allegedly that was his initial passion, until his camera was stolen. so he became a rapper.
@@wwmhd yea, I've had really important people in my life tell me I just need to get over it, that I have no will power. And thats sadly how most people see it. They are very ignorant about how our brains and reward systems work and how addiction completely changes your wiring. Its a really hard problem to solve, because at a point it does become a disease and your brain is screaming at you constantly (even when you're asleep) to get drugs. But once you overcome the initial withdrawl and stuff, a lot needs to be done by the addict, and if the people around them try to do the work for them it will just end up restarting the cycle. Being homeless was the best thing that could of happened to me at that time. But I was a rare case, and I know plenty of people who just wont accept life without constant substance abuse. It's sad but at a point you need to cut ties, and hope that eventually they see the error in their ways.
I was in the studio with him and some other producers and artists after a show that he performed at and he showed no interest in listening to the beats and tracks that we we were showing to him, he was too worried about the girl he was with at the studio and that she wanted to leave, he left the studio to try to get her to stay and he ended up leaving and not coming back 🤦🏻♂️
Lol!
Bruh that's rude
I'm interested in beats
Bro look at him. A girl for a guy that looks like that is incredibly rare, it is literally his job to have people make beats for him he can get those anytime.
He sounds like a simp to me.
Look at this generation 30-40 year olds wearing, hoodies, caps and beanies.
hes turning his life around and hes looking really good rn, glad hes doing good
Damn it is so easy to see just how BLASTED he was on drugs during all of these appearances. It is honestly sort of sad. I don't feel too horrible for him because of all the crap he's done but as someone who had drug problems in the past, it is really easy to slip into it just so you can feel SOMETHING. There is just something exciting about doing some drug and sitting and waiting for it to kick in. Something to look forward to I guess. Even if it is just for one hour, two hours, three hours. It doesn't matter. It is something to look forward to which is why it is so common to see broken individuals fall into drugs. Nothing else to look forward to. Just create it yourself. Especially easy for kids who don't really have any other goals.
EDIT: Take it into DMs if you're gonna fight with someone over something so stupid.
EDIT: EDIT: Yes, we all know there aren't DMs on CZcams, buddy. Luckily other forms of communication exist. ;D
His situation is a little different as he suffered from severe panic attacks from a young age to the point him and his mom claim it was debilitating.. this lead to the doc putting him on benzos which eventually ofc leads to a dependence and serious addiction. Imagine being on xans / Valium/ ativan to bandage ur anxiety as a kid to adult...

Why would you get a std from a prostitute? In my country prostitution is legal and it’s just a bunch of woman in college or after and they make 150 Euro per hour at minimum, so there is no stds here (maybe it’s just in the USA bc they are dirty? Lul)
And the goverment don’t want woman to sell there body to filty guys? That means in the USA woman can’t do what they want? Omg 🤣 sounds like a Middle East Country „no Woman Rights!! We tell them what they can do!!“ LUL 🤣

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. 🙂
Yes
hes still doing ok tho releasing a new album after 5 years and living good life rn
Honestly this is the first time I herd about this kid. Hope he turns this around.
I remember seeing a photo of Lil Xan for the first time and immediately thought he's some small time rapper who's always on drugs, hence the name. While he does make a point that sitting in class for about 7 hours a day and not retain some of that information, sitting through those classes would've helped him make more conscious decisions and take responsibility, which he didn't do at all. I can't really feel bad for him, his undoing was no one but his own fault.
Dats why there's this thing called family planning: His momma and daddy should never have brought this piece of feces into the world to begin with :)
@@wolflover968alphamale8 Pretty sure a lack of parenting is how he got where he is
He’s a bum and a junkie
As sunny said, definetely a difference between failing every class and dropping out year one. It could say it was from unfortunate livihoods, but Xan's extreme laziness, lack of wanting to do work, even performing and making music, he clearly doesn't even want to put effort in once he did one good thing, he just coasted.
Don’t blame him. Blame the media
It's hard for me to look at a kid addicted to drugs and blame them for what happened. I grew up in a town riddled with drugs and when you're high time isn't a thing. Nothing matters but chasing the high. Only a few of us got out, cause it's so hard to do without a good support system. He just had people who wanted to take his money or use him once he broke into the music scene and honestly? It's sad. I've never heard his music but I genuinely hope he gets some help and turns his life around.
Drug addiction is absolutely the fault of the drug user. Personal responsibility is a thing, and doing drugs is a choice, no matter how you look at it.
So, the drug dealer tied him down and forced him to do them? Yes, addiction is hell but at some point, he chose to do them, so it is 100% his fault.
@@trivera801 if you're introduced to drugs before your prefrontal cortex is even fully developed, then no, it isn't your choice. Kids can't make fully informed decisions. You obviously know nothing about growing up poor in drug-riddled cities. Half the time it's parents introducing their kids to these substances. Without a proper support system, it's hard to break the cycle. If he had hurt someone, then he would need to take responsibility, but the only person he's hurting is himself and it's sad. In him I see myself and many other kids from the "bad areas" who nobody cared enough to help. It doesn't hurt to have empathy.
@@TheAciddragon069 Accountability is key. no one forced him to do drugs. No one made him tie his career to using illicit drugs. I feel bad that no one in his corner actually held him accountable. To push him forward to the next thing because all waves crash. So either start one or catch one. No one told him to invest in businesses or start some. I feel bad for drug addicts. I don’t feel to bad for rich drug addicts.
This comment thread is giving "have anorexia ? just eat lol" and it's disgusting
You can't say "I used to bea drug addict"! You should always remember that your always going to be an addict but can manage it. Once you assume you're fine, you could relapse. Even after years of sobriety. Diego has never been completely sober. 🙏 I hope he find his way in life.
You do look the type to never stop
I dont even know him but still watching because Sunny makes good video
How this kid had a career of any kind is mind blowing. It truly makes me sad and very worried about the world my kids will be growing up in. This is wild.
Get off the web and you’ll see that the world is fine. The internet presents the world in a very very different way than reality. Nothing’s changed. People are still the same as they’ve always been. Same amount of idiots. Only difference is those idiots have enough time on their hands to have a voice through the internet
Yep mediocrity, depravity and stupidity are promoted as desirable characteristics today. Keep your kids off of social media and out of public schools
As long as your kids have a proper role model like you in their life, they'll turn out fine regardless of the avent garde circumstances. Remember, Lil Xan doesn't represent our entire generation lol
you're asking this in the era of people faking entire careers?
Don’t have kids then 🤦🏼😂
Honestly:
*Lil Xan never had a chance to become relevant to begin with. Just like Lil Pump and Smokepurpp, they weren’t going to last long and the hype train has officially left the building. The “Tupac makes boring music” comments was just the final nail in the coffin for his career.*
Well the thing is betrayed still holds up, going back to lil pumps music makes me wonder if we were all brain dead
It’s because they are memes no one listens to their music and actually likes it. Real artists maintain their popularity, that’s why people like pac, mercury and beatles are still relevant even tho they don’t do music anymore
Lil pump and smokepurpp had wayyyyy way more of a career and success than lil xan, lil pump was huge for a while & had only recently in like the last year or two dropped off. Lil xan had one song and that’s it.
@@bruhdon4748 wonder what pump has been up to
@JojoTheGeneral bro shut up
I sympathize with Xan. My job only pays me when I work too. It's fucked up.
I knew about him for about a year before his ride ended. What’s crazy, all that time I believed he was the younger brother from the show Shameless. smh My brother told me when we were talking about the show, that they weren’t the same ppl. 😂
This is just one of the many cases of talentless rappers blowing up because of the industry. Betrayed was a completely beat driven song that anybody could've got on and blown up off of. It had nothing to do with lil xan himself. The problem is that he didn't see that, got a massive ego and then got lost in drugs.
Yup.
@@HishighnessMrL yikes bro
@@HishighnessMrL certified bruh moment
Dude is someone I both hate but also have a level of sympathy for. He wasted some huge opportunities, refuses to take accountability, and doesn't have much of a work ethic. But he also went from an uneducated kid who grew up in motels, struggling with addiction and poverty, to suddenly being surrounded by swarms of fans, media, and corrupt industry professionals. It was a very sudden, massive lifestyle change and the show business industry is known for mistreating/taking advantage of naive young artists. So many other people who've been in that position have opened up about how difficult it was. I'm sure that shit led to him leaning more on his addictions to cope. He's been hospitalized on a psychiatric hold but he's never personally opened up about his mental health or any trauma he likely faced growing up in the situation he did. Having said that..I think he needs to seriously work on himself, confront his flaws, and access the resources available to him to grow as a person. Not everyone in this country is lucky enough to be in a position, like he is, where they can get help.
Yeah, getting real help gets costly. That's the biggest thing I think people don't understand.
What about all the kids in same situation only without the opportunity Xan had?
Feel sorry for them too??
@@goldenglowable but Xan had rehabs paid for for him and all the help in the world 🌎- he chose to relapse every time he come out of rehab … all 7 times
@@realeyesbars yes, no one said otherwise lol
@@realeyesbars What about my statement makes you think I don't have sympathy for them? This video was about Xan so I spoke about him specifically. Of course I feel for every person who grows up in those circumstances and has to overcome trauma and poverty and work their way up from nothing. That shit is fucking rough, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Addiction is also a very real illness and relapses are a part of recovery for many people. Money doesn't buy happiness if you're not ready to confront your own demons.
11:22 Nothing to do with the video but I found it cute how this cat was just chilling during the podcast.
this is the kind of people that could make the world a better place by his mere absence...
I think Kanye is right
High-school is necessary
College is not for everyone
I’d give that statement a meh. I skipped 8th grade and I’m back at it again. I just wanna finish high school so I can focus on my interests like music and filming. Still it might train your discipline a bit
Jeen-yuhs
I honestly don't think high school is necessary. The only really valuable thing in school is the social aspect, as you can learn significantly faster being home schooled or studying subjects you find interesting as opposed to ones that are assigned to you.
@@MrGreFunky u need a diploma to get a lot of opportunities did u not watch regular show?
@@Matthew-vw8xn You actually don't. Companies value passion and dedication over degrees and diplomas. It's much easier to get hired with 1 year experience in the field than it is to have a certificate from a college/school.
Sure, having a diploma from the get go would give you more opportunities, but what if you spent all those years studying on creating opportunities in other ways? I think school is massively over rated, especially these days. Obviously not all schools are the same, and some are very good, but on average they aren't what they are made out to be.
I'm so glad there is finally a line in the sand. It was starting to seem as though someone could piss in a microphone and be successful as long as they LOOKED just as crazy and 'clickable'. We need to work on raising the bar now that we have at least established how low it is.
90% of todays rappers shouldn’t be artists 🤦♂️
Yeah the 2016-18 era of shit like this guy and Lil Pump gucci-gangin' his way to millions was really bizarre to witness. On top of the world for a moment and then vanishes behind the scenes until the funds dry up. Such is life in this influencer age of constantly evolving/changing virality.
Piss in the mic coming out tues
Shit music is still a thing 99% of new music in 2022 is straight trash. The music industry as a whole is failing. Its all the same shitty beats or stolen beats from a old song. Nothing new and original in 2022.
@DON'T I did! And I agree with you. That’s the only reason I would watch something with his name in it.
Really sad he had so much potential and possibilities and didn’t even bother to go work… I would kill to be in his old line light
Thank you IG fot so many One Hit Wonders!
Idk maybe im a bleeding heart, but i kinda empathize with the guy. It seems like he lacked guidance and direction from a young age and didnt have a responsible adult who cared enough to rear him properly. So he got swept up in the industry life and got more than what he bargained for. Could happen to any young person who doesnt have strong positive adult influences in their life. I wonder what his upbringing was like
Yep.
Not a xan fan but this made me think about him different
The only logical person on here ty. Just a kid caught up in a crazy world of fame. Watch his interview with Steve-o he’s actually a good kid, hope he does well, glad he’s sober.
I just take one look at the guy and wish he wasnt on the planet because it's a perfect example of what the youth has gone to, or at least how far down they can go in terms of life directions. Just another sleepy person who got really lucky that he even made it out of the gene pool in the first place...maybe I'm too mean but I don't feel for him one bit
@@masterodisguise2983 Perhaps you shouldn't be looking at a lil Xan video as the example of youth today, as it is a tiny cross section. It is only feeding your confirmation bias. ....Here's something you may not realize. A famous philosopher once said to his friend "The youth of today have no respect for their elders and for society at large".
that was 2000 years ago.
whenever people get to a certain age, say 35,45, 50 or so, they often tend to look at the youth that replaced them and think that new generation is just so far gone.
When you look at the real data to understand these things, it actually shows that young people today are, on the whole, far more advanced than any other generations ever. Are they still cringey and dumb? Yes, often., but less so on the whole and...
...so were you. And so was I. We ALL were when we were young. We just tend to not remember it very well.
And you also have to look at your own confirmation bias.
Without even being aware of it, you will look at certain examples, like the one you talked about here, and you will make note of it because it fits your preconception
That's just conformation bias at work./
Why don't you look at what the local chess club is doing?
I'll bet none of them would behave in a way that you have noticed in your example here.
Why don't you start looking at examples of young people who are bright and not all about attention seeking or materialism, or whatever it is that you see as the problem with todays youth.
you are talking about all youth, and there is just as much variety in them than there ever was, including your generation./
The only difference is, they grew up in the information age.
So, that means that the smart ones KNOW how to use that to their advantage. And are going to be more mature than any prior generation ever could be.
To repeat, perhaps you shouldn't be looking at a lil Xan video as the example of youth today, as it is a tiny cross section. It is only feeding your confirmation bias.
A bias, by the way, that we all have. Once you are aware of it, you can be less and less beholden to it.
I can't help to feel a bit bad for him. He just seems like a kid with poor decision making skills to whom nobody really said no before. That doesn't mean that he shouldn't suffer the consequences of his actions though.
Those are the exactly the types of people who should suffer the consequences of their actions? That’s how real life affects everyone else, he’s no different.
If he's a good kid, he will take this opportunity to grow and become more responsible for his actions
The gist of why his career failed is because he doesn't work hard for it. What does that have to do with not having people tell you no? He had someone setting up meetings for him that he chose not to go to. That has nothing to do with having yes men.
@@elan8213 no one said he was different, or that he shouldn’t have the consequences of his actions
i don’t get this comment, speaking on stuff the original guy never even said
So your solution is not giving him money or career so that he fails that way? He had a chance and he blew it simple as that
It's crazy how many times you hear managers supplying drugs to clients😅!
T Pain is a legend till this day though
Way to show the local family owned small business called "target" some love Xan, I heard they were really struggling to stay in business. I mean in 2022 their revenues were only $108 BILLION dollars, they are seriously struggling!!! I think those 2 copies of Destiny you bought might have single handedly kept Target alive this year.

@@HrTjernobyl dude for real this hits it right on the spot
This is where the lie of the music industry in general can really hurt young people getting into it. He has a lot of his own problems, mainly that he doesn’t want to work hard. But making music is hard, it’s consistency. It’s hours and hours writing and defining your thoughts, feelings, and fantasy into art. And making that art marketable. He likely worked really hard on his single which blew up; but then he realized “oh I guess I gotta do this 12 more times this year” and instead of trying he just slap dashed some lyrics together and lazily spoke them over stock beats (with minor alteration for originality)
To any kid who wants to get into music, you’re lucky if you make the kind of money Xan made. You’re usually just working a 9-5 somewhere in the cog of the machine. Or in my friend’s case who works as a sound engineer now; a 9-9 job 10 days in a row with one day off before going back.
