During the summer of 2019, superstar rapper Polo G scared fans by admitting checking himself into a hospital after suffering a near-death experience. Today January 6th, the artist celebrates his twenty-first birthday on a baecation in Dubai and reflected on his accolades (one solid album, multiple hits with major artists, and another year of being sober). Most importantly, he came out about his drug addiction he's battled over the years and let everybody know that he's been two months sober.
