“I remember being upset that I didn’t have any cocaine to take to the brothel. I had just signed the divorce papers and I thought I was just gonna go all the way in,” Lamar says according to People.

However, despite not bringing any cocaine with him, he still ended up in a coma for days. How? He thinks someone slipped drugs into his drink. According to the former NBA player, that’s the only thing he remembers  – “having a drink and then waking up three days later with it all over the news.” He continues saying “I don’t know what they were able to slip into my drink or what.”

Of course, Lamar’s recovery was long and horrible, resulting in the need for rehabilitation.

“When I woke up, I couldn’t walk or talk. So it took you know, it took some months of rehabilitation and a lot of prayers, a lot of determination.”

The overdose was so intense, in fact, Lamar had ’12 strokes and six heart attacks’ while he was in his coma.

What’s He Doing Now?

According to Lamar, now he’s finding a way to use his past to help people like him.

“Now my mission is probably to help people who have the same problem who couldn’t help themselves be able to understand addiction and understand that it’s a brain disease,” he reveals. “It’s important for people to really understand and educate themselves.”

Not only is he helping people, but he is also going to be on the new season of The Kardashians, a fact that shocked fans to say the least.

This announcement was made during a new trailer for the show. In one clip, Lamar could be seen walking in with flowers – presumably for Khloe. Lamar and Khloe had a very tight knight relationship, and despite their divorce, she still went through all of his recovery with him after his coma.
