Chet Hanks opens up on meeting his fellow 'cokeheads'

Chet shared about the times he used to recognize other addicts and the time they met during clubbing. "You’re like, 'I know this dude's a f--king cokehead, but I want a little bump.' " Like, ‘OK, fine,'” he recalled.

The 33-year-old said during the episode, “I would go do coke with the cokeheads, and they would be telling me, like, ‘Yo, chill, bro. … Wait a second. Give it like 15 minutes.'”

The ‘White Boy Summer’ rapper admitted he “couldn’t get enough” of the drug back then and he come to realize it is “so bad” for not only his heart but also his “soul.”

“It’s terrible. It eats away [at you]. You just, like, wither away ’cause you can’t eat, you can’t sleep,” Chet felt.

Chet has long been open about his drug struggle. In 2015, he revealed over his Instagram that he was going to rehab, reports PageSix.

“A couple months ago, I was selling coke, doing coke until I couldn’t even snort it up my nose anymore because it was so clogged. I even smoked crack,” he shared.

In 2022, he opened up about his wilderness program in Utah when Rita Wilson and Hanks sent him there.

“I was there longer than anybody else that I had seen come or go in the whole program, except for one kid who was there for six months,” he recalled.
