Khaled Taught Me: 6 Symptoms Of Suffering From Success

May 22, 2013 - 3:28 pm by Adelle Platon TWITTER

There's a disease plaguing hip-hop. While its origin can be traced to copious amounts of cash, unofficial studies have proven that suffering from success is easily transferrable. Named by its founder DJ Khaled, Suffering From Success christens his upcoming album compilation, already bursting with bangers "No New Friends" and "Bugatti." VIBE conducted a series of tests to identify the symptoms for those who may be lucky enough to catch even the slightest illness.
1. Anti-Social Tendencies
An individual who tests positive for the success sickness will give the middle finger to playing nice with strangers. (see: DJ Khaled feat. Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne "No New Friends")
