It was not clear from the announcement whether he was referring to smoking in general or specifically to weed.
Fans of the Californian rap superstar, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, reacted skeptically to the posts. Some wrote that the 52-year-old was just joking, while others speculated that their idol had serious health problems.
