Juice Wrld learned to play the piano at four years old and began drinking lean, a recreational drug beverage, in sixth grade.
Jarad Anthony Higgins (December 2, 1998  December 8, 2019), known professionally as Juice Wrld (pronounced "juice world"; stylized as Juice WRLD), was an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. Higgins was a heavy drug user during his childhood and teens. He began drinking lean in sixth grade and using percocets and xanax in 2013. He learned to play the piano at four years old, having been inspired by his mother, Carmella Wallace, who later began paying for lessons. Lean, also known as purple drank and several other names, is a recreational drug beverage, prepared by combining prescription-grade cough syrup with a soft drink and hard candy. The concoction originated in Houston, Texas, and is popular in the hip hop culture or those who reside in the southern United States.
