He said, But “I haven’t had a drink since I realised I needed to take it day by day, but I never owned up or was even told, ‘Hey, you’re a functioning alcoholic. People have called me a crazy person, people have called me everything … but not a functioning alcoholic.”
The ‘I Love It’ singer elaborated of his moment of clarity, “One day I was in my office working on the couture collection, and there was some Grey Goose in the fridge and I was just going to get a daytime drink, and I looked and thought, ‘Devil, you’re not going to beat me today.”
