Now, he has attempted to guide people, especially those younger, in a different direction by (ironically) telling them to stay away from drugs.
A clip of the 27-year-old was posted on social media with the words "PSA FROM UZI" plastered across the screen. "I'm a sober man, okay" he stated slyly. "Kids, it's real good to be sober and it's real good to live your life-- not over the influence, but under the influence." While his demeanor was funny, he spoke with all seriousness, urging the youngsters to stay away from harmful stimulants.
