Lil Xan Won a Drug-Fueled War

Did Lil Xan win a drug-fueled war with his management? Well, it’s complicated.

Nicholas Diego Leanos, also known as the ‘Betrayed’ rapper Lil Xan, recently announced to his fans that he is sober from drugs. His announcement comes in light of the deaths of many artists who unfortunately passed away due to drug abuse.

If the allegations are true, it is safe to say that Lil Xan won a drug-fueled war against his former management.
