Scarface Reveals He Smoked Crack at 12 and Learned to Cook It From His Uncle
Scarface is opening up about his wild childhood in his latest interview with Shannon Sharpe.
The rapper tells the former NFL star he began smoking cigarettes at a young age and ultimately, after smoking the leftover cigarettes from his uncle ashtray, he eventually received permission from his parents.
“I'm at school with a smoking pass. Back in junior high school, you can smoke cigarettes at school if you had a pass,” he told the podcaster.
“You had to get clearance from your parents. I'm telling my age right now. I'm 54, but yeah, I was smoking for real.”
He also revealed he tried crack cocaine as a teenager, and learned how to cook the drug from his uncle.
“I smoked crack for the first time in 1983 when the sh*t was cool,” he began.
“My uncle would come in, he have a 8-ball. I learned how to cook. He put that shit in the beaker and he'd beat it with the torch and put water in there and burn it until it turned into a long little thing and it fall out and I hit it one time. There it is. But I wasn't but 11, 12 years old.”
He attributes this to a lack of supervision.
“I was seeking some attention from some attention that wasn't there, that has never been there," he shared.
"You know what I mean? And I'm going to say, I say it 1,000 times, but I wasn't controlled. I didn't have parents that'll, you know, stop me [...] I had no guard rails. I didn't have no boundaries.”
