blackbear Breaks Down His Tattoos | GQ

[@NovaNinjaHD]

Wow, his voice cleared up a lot. If you go back to his interviews around the time of digital druglord his voice was hella raspy. Getting sober helped out a bunch

[@iwillpunchyouruglyass]

Noodle Lover i know, glad little mat grew out of it.

[@nirvanakamala2809]

He still does drugs lol

[@BrittonFilmmaker]

Nirvana he doesn’t drink or do coke now. He smokes weed and cigarettes now. Step up for sure

You don't have to believe this but everyone is happier when there clean and sober. I will how ever keep drinking but it is a fact.
