I remember in November of 2021 he did a set at the DNV festival. He said it was his first performance in like 1-2 years or something. At the end of his set he broke down. On the floor & just cried. I knew then he was going through it & I just cheered for him & cried. I’m sooooo glad he’s in a better place. He’s been a favorite of mine for years
Omg yes I was there! I forgot all about that!! I’m so glad he’s doing better! He looks good! He looks healthy!
I was there too ! Very touching
That’s a dope memory thanks for sharing ❤
Yes!! I was there. It was deep. I’m so glad he’s better
I remember that. I felt that.
I met SiR at the gym after having his albums on repeat .. Couldn’t have been more grateful to have had the conversation we had. Great dude, him and D Smoke!
Dopamine choking me.
Focusing hopelessly.
What am I,
an addict? How tragic.
I've had it, relapsing is taxing, detaching,
retracting, acting sporadically.
What am I, an addict?
But not in vain. My pain remains a strain on purpose. Truth has surfaced. I'm built for this.
Humility crippled my arrogance.
My choices polluted the narrative.
Addiction threatened my vision. But now I see. Victory! I'm free!
song?
I'm 1 year and 3 months sober too! The album is fire! One love!
There is an incredible amount of humanity/humility in tackling any addiction and then in refocusing on reconnecting with communicating with one's family, friends, community, and the general public. SiR is displaying their empowering humility and humanity in this interview. 🌺
Yes 👏🏽 ❤
Beyond SiR being one of my favorite artists, this interview is so good to see. Humans interacting and communicating honestly and openly without overstepping. I love this.
Shout out to you Sir. Chasing summer was a classic. can’t wait to hear the new album
That album got me through a breakup and a slew of situationships afterwards lol
I wish all the strength, peace, and abundant energy to SiR and his family. And shout out to his WIFE!!! It is not easy loving someone through an addiction especially when you're a first time mother.
REAL TALK! She needs her flowers. Here you go Kelly. I salute you girl.
I've been a fan since seven sundays. I've always thought this Man to be GENUINE. But this interview hit different. When he said "I had to totally submit myself to God", then "totally re-sumbit myself to my relationship and my woman" MY HEART just LEAPED. 😍❣❣❣
So proud of him for overcoming, pushing through, and conquering. FAN 4 LIIIIIIFFFFEEEE!
This was beautiful as hell. Spoken like a free man fighting to keep his freedom.
He ain’t lying about not catering to the ladies. I’m usually low key triggered listening to the lyrics 😮💨 but I love it so I keep going lol!
Right!!! I be singing my a** off while simultaneously thinking ole cheating mf. 🤣🤣🤣
@@jrowewilliams98 🤣
What an inspirational interview. I disagree with him only about not naming his drug of choice only bc things have the power we give them, and not naming it is giving it power, imo. We need to destigmatize drug addiction. If we do, people won't be in the position that he was in where they were embarrassed/ashamed to tell a loved one about your problem.
But with all that said, this is an awesome interview. I was addicted to pills, then heroin, from when I was 16 until about 9 months ago. And I've never been better. So I like to see big names like him talking about their struggles. Good shit.
keep keeping on bro❕you’re on it
💪🏾🙏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾🫡 stay up homie! Stay busy… idle mind + boredom leads to bad things. You got this.
I totally agree. I think there is power in admitting what it is because it shows others they can break free too and can change lives.
Thanks so much for sharing. Sending you much love on your journey! ❤
I agree but I think it’s also a defense mechanism due to him being a public figure people tend to use a persons DOC as a poking point
This interview was everything. SiR I wish you well on your sobriety. Thank you for your vulnerability. So many ppl needed to hear that message.
Sway and crew, thank you for all that you do for the culture.
Wow, the depth I wasn’t expecting. So much more respect and love for this man. What an amazing musician! Definitely don’t sleep on Seven Sundays and Her Too!
I love, Sir. That's it. That's the post.
Hearing about his struggles with Addiction, Life and Fame is really amazing! As someone whose been in that kinda mind frame; you really have to drag yourself out and stand on it. Ive been sober 10 years strong; no cravings or temptation. This was a great interview; very insightful and entertaining! Inglewood in the Mothafuckin Casa! 😂🤘
Congrats on 10 years bro, and thanks for the hope today. Im 33 days into my journey today
what was he on?
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying HEAVY. 🔥
Shoutout to the fans that discovered SIR in the pandemic (specifically 2021) that's watching him explode before our very eyes!
This humility, humanity, and willingness to share something so intimate is thought-provoking. The best kind of influence!
That’s my favorite R&B artist . I gotta work with em before it’s all over .
Thanks for sharing Sir! Love and light to you and your family!
🖤
His music is 🔥🔥
On Me
Man i already loved SiR so much, his presence his music his voice. Knowing he's in Recovery just puts the topping on ut because yesssss!!!! Speak your truth, show more young people they don't have to be under the influence to be great
So underrated. Love me some SiR! 🩵
Wow hearing one of my favorite artists talk about addiction struggles and the benefits of sobriety is so incredibly inspiring! I recently started my sober journey (day 33!) and watching this just pushes me to keep going. Also his new album is FIREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Thanks for this interview - it truly makes an impact 💚
Incredible brotha! Can't wait for the album, tour, etc. Continued success his way!!
I’m love Sway interviews ♥️ So glad to see SiR doing better.
May you be protected from all things that do not serve your highest and greatest good. Peace and Love💜
This was such a beautiful interview about just being human and getting through. There’s so much spirituality in this
This guy bouncing back looking freshhhh. How good!!! You look great dude mad shout to SiR love your work
"Again and again" ayyyeeee 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I heard this song " You" tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Show. Sir is the truth I have repeated this song so many times tonight. Love this piece. My first time hearing this. His honesty, openess about his addiction. I 👏 him. I'm recovering myself 26 yrs. Keep doing what you doing. May GOD bless you 🙏
This interview was church!
I love SiR down! Been bumpin' more of him lately. Such a vibe ❤ But SWAY... we go wayyyyy back. So blessed to still have him as well. This is the kind of healing we need. ❤❤ LOVED this interview ❤
It's amazing how strong his personality and musical figure is. I'm a simple guy from another part of the globe (Belarus), and there is a few days go by in my life without his music. Such musical taste, lyrics, everything hooks me right into my heart. I guess it's really true, the more connected you are to God, whoever he is, the more people your music touches. Even now, when I watch this interview, my soul is glowing. Love you SiR!
SIR MY FAV R&B Artist at the moment!! New shit sounding FIREEEE
Been a fan of his music for years but this my first time I hear this dude speaking in an interview and I gotta say dude really got the swag and the charisma of an artist, dope to know he was able to overcome his demons and keep on doing his thing
Thanks for this SiR Thanks for this Sway and Team
I love it when artists interview and tell us their true stories it connects us more to the artist.
2021 was a hard year for everyone, I unbeknownst to me, became addicted to fentanyl. Instead of dying I got an autoimmune disorder (NMOSD).... 2021 was the year of the awakening. Especially if you were on a substance, a lot of people either died that year or were reborn. 💯💖🙏🏾 I was blessed. If you made it through that era you are too. 💯
Glad you are back . You look great.
Glad you're well Sir
So underrated!! So glad I came across this mans music in 2016!
I appreciate artists like Sir because he’s so transparent and honest 💯💯💯
I loved this interview so much. I been follwoing Sir for a few years and he has became one of my top 10. His music is so powerful and im glad to be a part of this experience.
Loved this interview blessing to you Sir❤
I enjoyed this interview so much. Sways energy allows them to open up so candidly. They feel safe with him. Thanks for sharing your journey SiR 🫶🏽 huge fan
Dude, your words here, even more than your music which is nuts, are such a blessing for me. You have no clue, well maybe you do. Man thank you.
Congratulations SiR 🤞🏾 blessings looking forward to this new project
This man right here is the realest person to touch a microphone…music aside… just the personality and openness.. bless this man.. and thank you for your godhead .
Such a refreshing conversation ❤
I have always loved this King. Especially, when he put Charlamagne in his place for disrespecting his name. 😅 Continued blessings SiR to you and the family ❤ Thank you ❤Sway .
I always appreciate when artists are vulnerable and very open with their fan base when they never have to be doing any of that. Looking forward to the album dropping next week
wow this was amazing, cant wait to hear which songs i'll be adding to my playlist!
Amazing! I love this guy and can’t wait for the new music. I had no idea he was struggling with addiction but grateful that he is doing well 🙌🏿❤️🙌🏿
SiR, i saw you back in like 2018 at hershey park on the TDE tour during kendricks damn and you performed W$ Boi during your set, i fell in love with you as an artist during that performace and have listened to you ever since.
