In a new interview with CNN, Vince Staples talks drugs and music.
“I’ve never drunk alcohol, smoked a bit of anything, took any drugs that my doctor didn’t give me for asthma in my life,” Staples says to CNN. “I’ve never fell victim to peer pressure in my life, in general, and there’s enough respect for me as a person amongst my peers … once they figure out that’s something that I don’t do they don’t even try to push it to me.”
The CNN story also includes Vince discussing the importance of education and how run-ins with the law compromise students. He refers to statistics that show that students are more likely to drop out of school and have negative police interactions when they are suspended.
“Dealing with the child’s problem isn’t sending them back home,” Staples says, “because the problem derives from home.”
