American rap star, Robert Rahmeek Williams alias Meek Mill, has revealed that he was diagnosed of emphysema, a medical condition associated with smoking.
According to 36-year-old Meek, he was advised by his doctor to stop smoking else he may live a shorter life than he desires.
The Dream Chasers Records boss said that in line with the health recommendation, he is considering relocating to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in a bid to quit smoking.
The rapper stated this through his official Twitter (X) account while reacting to the news of rap veteran and colleague, Snoop Dogg quitting smoking.
Meek wrote, “Ima go to Dubai and completely stop smoking… Ima follow Snoop, my doctor said I got a lil bit emphysema in a chest if I don’t stop smoking it cuts my lifeline in half.
“I was addicted to the nicotine and this new weed got too many chemicals and too risky to play with my mental!”
