Macklemore Opens Up About Relapse During the Pandemic


Macklemore (real name Benjamin Haggerty), who's been honest about his struggle with sobriety since he first admitted himself into rehab for drug addiction and alcoholism in August 2008, recently discussed the life-saving effects of treatment programs. He told Talib Kweli on his 
's Party show in February, "If it wasn't for my pops having the 10 or 12 racks that it was when I first went to treatment and being willing to spend that on me, I'd be f---ing dead." In his and Ryan Lewis' 2015
Complex cover story, the "Thrift Shop" rapper cited his now-wife Tricia Davis' pregnancy with their first child, Sloane, as the catalyst for his sobriety after relapsing during his blockbuster year of 2014, which became his much-needed "wake-up call." The couple announced last week that they're expecting their third child.
