Lil Yachty has officially put down the cup.
The “Poland” rapper revealed he’s been off lean for seven months, admitting the substance had become a problem before he decided to quit.
The revelation came during a recent Kick livestream with streamer Cuffem, who showed up with lean, unaware that Yachty had stopped drinking it.
“He seven months clean,” Cuffem announced after learning about the rapper’s lifestyle change.
Yachty, 29, confirmed the milestone with a short explanation.
“Yeah, that s–t was…it was taking over,” he admitted.

The decision marks another change for the musician, who first gained attention in 2016 while openly discussing his decision to avoid drugs and alcohol.
Over the years, however, his relationship with lean changed. His 2022 viral hit “Poland” referenced Wockhardt, a pharmaceutical company associated with prescription cough syrup.
Yachty previously announced he had quit lean in 2023, later sharing that he’d gone 10 months without using it.
His latest effort comes as he explores a new passion: professional wrestling.
In a September 2026 interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Yachty said preparing for WWE pushed him to reconsider his habits.
He also credited his friendship with wrestler Trick Williams with inspiring healthier decisions.
