Lil Xan Checks into Rehab to Seek Treatment for Drug Addiction After the Death of Mac Miller

Lil Xan has checked himself into rehab.

On Sunday, the rapper’s girlfriend Annie Smith made the announcement on his Instagram page, explaining that Lil Xan, whose real name is Diego Leanos, had stepped away from the spotlight to seek professional help in overcoming his drug addiction.

Although the rapper, 22, announced his plans to enter the facility a few weeks ago — inspired by the death of his friend and fellow rapper Mac Miller, who died of an accidental overdose in September — his girlfriend explained that his move-in date was postponed due to the availability of rooms at the rehab center.

“This sweet angel of mine officially entered rehab this morning,” she began the first post. “I’m sorry for all the confusion circulating about Diego leaving for rehab. It’s a tricky thing since people are coming in and out of the facility so often that rooms end up getting switched around and dates can be pushed back.”

“I’m so beyond proud of this precious boy for being the strongest person I know and for wanting to live a better life,” Annie continued. “Please keep him in your prayers, he is doing his best right now to find peace with himself. We love you all so much, and we appreciate all of the support ]]>💔💔💔💔💔
