Lil Xan clarifies the real story behind the viral 'hot Cheetos overdose' rumor, discusses tabloid media like TMZ, and talks about surprising fans including older women and bands like Korn and Marilyn Manson.
- Tim explains the Hot Cheetos hospital story: he ate multiple bags, started vomiting, saw a little blood, and went to the hospital, but it wasn't serious.
- Media outlets picked up the Hot Cheetos story and ran with it, claiming he overdosed, which Tim says wasn't even what he said in the original video.
- Tim doesn't hate the media for sensationalizing stories—they're just doing what they do to make money.
- Old women are a surprising part of his fanbase and will travel long distances to meet him at shows.
