Author G-Moniy
Cozz took the stage early in Day 2 of Dreamville Festival 2023.

Rapper Cozz has been outspoken about his addictions, but he said his performance on the Dreamville Festival stage Sunday in Raleigh was his first sober.

“This is my first show without a drink in me,” Cozz said, as he began to introduce his track “Addicted.”

Cozz said that while everyone has their addictions, he’s battling his. “This feels good.” He did admit he was nervous and anxious, but it didn’t seem to impact his strong set.

Cozz Tweeted out back in 2019 that he was sober.

“Been sober for a week now,” the Tweet said. “I know that ain’t long but for a n***a like me that shit is an accomplishment.”

The lyrics for his song “Addicted” addressed him knowing about his addictions.

“Ditchin’ my addiction is like switchin’ my pigment. Shit, if you got any advice, I’m here to listen. We all got plenty vices, and mine no different.”

GALLERY: Dreamville Festival 2023 Day 1

Day 1 of Dreamville Festival 2023 is in the books, and it was a wild one.

Usher capped off the day that got started late, thanks to bad weather in the Raleigh area early on.

Gates didn’t open until 3 p.m., after a planned 12 p.m. start. The first performance by Marqus Clae started at 3:30, and then nobody took a breath.

To make sure every artist on the lineup got to perform, breaks were basically eliminated, and the show alternated stages quickly.

One other change to the lineup came with Toosii filling in for Key Glock, who couldn’t make it after his flight was cancelled.

Toosii also made news by stopping his performance when he saw someone pass out in the crowd. He later said the fan was OK.

Day 2 starts at noon on Sunday, and is scheduled to be capped with J. Cole and Drake.
