Leo Friedman was also very well known to have a profound drug addiction of which some say aided his musical ability whilst others argue that it hindered his career massively. Most nights after preforming he would be found in his dressing room spilling his guts out all over the floor after tripping on DMT and other hallucagens. During his trips he would often run around the dressing room naked singing Fuck The Police and other classic Hip Hop Hits.
