In a worrying trend, the party drug known as “pink cocaine,” or “tusi,” has come under scrutiny following its reported connection to the recent death of former One Direction singer Liam Payne. According to preliminary autopsy reports, Payne had the dangerous substance in his system when he tragically fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires last week.
Pink cocaine is a cocktail of illicit drugs that typically contains a mix of ketamine, methamphetamine, MDMA, and sometimes opioids or hallucinogens. Experts emphasize that despite its name, the drug often contains little to no actual cocaine, making it even riskier to use. Researchers warn that its appeal—due in part to its bright pink color and misleading name—could lead to more young people unknowingly ingesting dangerous combinations of substances.
The drug has also been implicated in a civil lawsuit against rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is facing accusations of using pink cocaine as a “drug of choice” in relation to sexual abuse allegations. The growing popularity of tusi in the U.S. and Canada has led experts to call for increased awareness, especially as it becomes more fashionable in nightlife settings.
Experts urge caution, stressing the need for drug testing services and safety measures for those who may come into contact with substances like pink cocaine. The rise of this unregulated drug highlights the increasing dangers in today’s recreational drug market.
