He is now speaking out about how he is recovering following a lengthy stint in rehab over his problems with addiction, according to The Source. Rich The Kid was there at the time to help Dex into rehab as people started being concerned about his health.
The relationship between Famous Dex and Rich The Kid goes further than just financial support; the two collaborate musically, and their friendship has been pretty clear to the public through various interactions. While they may have fallen out a few times in the past over record label affiliations, they seem to be cool on a personal level.
