Bubba Sparxxx | Where Are They Now? | How Drugs Almost Ruined His Life

When Bubba Sparxxx emerged practically out of nowhere in late 2001,
his large-set and white-skin dumbfounded the hip-hop market. And

were eager to work with him. Following the phenomenal success that
was Uglu, Bubba would drop Ms. New Booty in 2005, which would
quickly rise all the way to the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100
charts. In fact, that one song was enough of a success that Bubba
decided to jump-ship and form his own hip-hop label. But shortly

addiction – and it became a war that he very nearly lost. How did
he manage to overcome it? Well, you are gonna have to keep watching
