Rapper King Yella recently made headlines for a moment that’s both concerning and a bit hilarious. During a live interview with Cam Capone, the Chicago rapper took the term “liquor life” a little too far and ended up passing out right in the middle of the conversation. It all started two hours in when he took one sip too many of Crown Royal—perhaps an occupational hazard when you’re on camera!
As things escalated, Yella suddenly gasped in pain before falling out of his chair. Talk about making an entrance and exit at the same time! Fortunately, the crew was quick to jump into action, but it was a wild reminder that moderation is key, even for the most seasoned drinkers. Later on, Yella shared that he’s doing just fine, and even expressed his annoyance at those who found humor in his blackout moment.
This incident raises the question: How much drinking is too much, especially when you’re in the public eye? It’s certainly a cautionary tale for anyone thinking about mixing cocktails with any type of performance or interview. Let’s just hope Yella sticks to water next time—no one wants to see a repeat of this “unforgettable” moment!
