After tearing his ACL, Gym Class Heroes singer Travie McCoy, whose last notable hit was “Billionaire” featuring Bruno Mars, was prescribed oxycontin. According to Hot New Hip Hop, the singer became dependent on the drug, and after suffering withdrawals, moved on to heroin.

McCoy is reportedly taking better care of himself and fighting against his addiction. His appearance, however, has altered under the stresses.
