6ix9ine Hospitalized For Popping Weight Loss Pills

6ix9ine was taken to the hospital earlier this week after he began sweating profusely and his heart rate became elevated.

The rapper later revealed that he had been hospitalized due to an overdose on Hydroxycut and caffeine. Hydroxycut is a legal drug taken for weight loss. 6ix9ine reportedly took five-six pills a day. He was adamant that he would not take no illegal drugs to his strict probation rules.

DJ Akedemiks later confirmed the news,
“This is true.. lol he finally realizes he needs a trainer not no CVS products,” Akademiks wrote on social media. “Talked to him today tho. He was on the track running n in good spirits. He’ll be back soon.”

6ix9ine reportedly gained weight upon his release from probation. The 24-year-old rapper has already lost 25 pounds, and is committed to reaching his goal weight. He would like to be 150lbs.

The rainbow rapper was released from prison back in April after a judge granted him a ”compassionate release” due to the  coronavirus pandemic.
