About her opioid addiction, Lil Mo explained that although the symptoms of being an addict weren't physically obvious, she was not fine on the inside. In her words:

"I was a functioning addict because I could wake up and take a pill. But I got all my teeth. I don't look like I take pills. I didn't have the gray skin. I was still able to perform, but my soul? I was a dead woman walking."
