Tekashi 69 is recovering after a 2 day hospital stay for an overdose. No, it wasn’t pain pills, no it wasn’t alcohol. Word is he was hospitalized for weight loss pills and caffeine, more specifically for taking a double dose of Hydroxycut and then drinking a McDonald’s coffee. Tekashi revealed the news saying since he’s been out of jail he’s gained weight so he’s been tryin’ to get it off the fastest way possible. He’s since lost 25 lbs and won’t stop ‘til he’s down to 150 pounds. He also stressed that he was not taking other drugs as that would violate his strict probation. Word is he’s doing fine now and is jogging daily.
