Paul Wall<\/a> has shared that he has some remorse about introducing lean \u2014 or ‘purple drank’ \u2014 to Juelz Santana<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Houston rap legend spoke with The Art of Dialogue<\/em><\/a> for an episode posted to YouTube on Friday (September 5), in which a previous clip was shown of Santana discussing the illegal substance.<\/p>\n “I was drinking it through … It got introduced to me through Houston guys \u2014 my man Paul Wall,” Santana said in the cutaway scene<\/a>.<\/p>\n But the “Sittin’ Sideways”<\/a> rapper confessed that he felt “bad” that Santana got a sip of the drank because of him. “At the time, you know what I’m saying, we all drink, we’re all drinking.

And all of that was all something that’s manageable to some extent,” he said.<\/p>\n He added that after Santana tried drank the first time, he had a “full-on bottle” the next time they ran into each other. And it’s like, ‘Damn, that’s what’s up.’ You know, of course, I didn’t \u2014 you never know how it’s going to affect different people, how people are gonna immerse [themselves] in it.”<\/p>\n In Santana’s interview with TAOD <\/em>in January, the Dipset<\/a> member said he wanted to see what the Houston “culture was about” by giving lean a taste. “It was sweet, it was tasted like candy,” Santana said. “I didn’t even really know about the effects and all that I gradually learned about all that as it was [happening] to me.”<\/p>\n Santana also recounted that he began to actively drank lean among the likes of Lil Wayne<\/a> and that he began to feel “physically dependent” on it.<\/p>\n ComplexCon returns to Las Vegas on October 25\u201326, 2025, with over 300 brands and live performances by Young Thug, YEAT & Friends, Peso Pluma, Central Cee, Ken Carson, and more.\u00a0Get your tickets now<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/a> Paul Wall Reflects on His Past Beef With Chamillionaire: ‘A Lot of Our Problems Were Personal’<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Watch Paul Wall Perform at Gracie\u2019s Corner Concert in Houston<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Paul Wall on Two Decades of ‘Grillz’ – “The Song Changed My Life”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Angie Stone’s Children Sue Truck Company for R&B Singer’s Highway Crash Death<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Noah ’40’ Shebib on How \u2018Simple\u2019 It Was to Get Drake to Sign Gaza Ceasefire Letter<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
