AceShowbiz - Miller had been struggling with substance abuse for years. In an interview with Complex in 2013, he revealed that he used a combination of promethazine and codeine to deal with criticism and stress from his "Macadelic" mixed tape tour in 2012.
"I was not happy and I was on lean (a combination of drink with codeine that makes one drowsy) very heavy [during the 'Macadelic' tour.] I was so f****d up all the time it was bad. My friends couldn't even look at me the same. I was lost," he shared. The Pennsylvania-born star admitted he attempted to quit lean multiple times, but wasn't successful until November 2012.
