Around the same time last year, right after I was found not guilty: OK, now there’s a little pressure off my shoulders that I need to lock in and stay healthy. Because I feel very unhealthy. I was smoking nicotine every day,” he said of his new lifestyle.
When he realized that smoking was adversely affecting his health, his motivation to maintain a healthier lifestyle became a priority.
“my lungs [were] It started to feel different… so I stopped typing that s###. I started getting on the treadmill. I started running. From me not being able to even run a mile, I couldn’t at all, to now I’m running three miles almost every day,” Lil Mosey added.
