About

Day 1, 2, 3 No Lean refers to an ironic series of memes where the phrasal template "Day X No Lean," "X" most often being a number between one and three, is used over an image of a person or character showing an emotion that implies they've stopped taking lean or purple drank. The format is inspired by a December 2020 Instagram post by rapper Kasher Quon and became increasingly popularized in late 2021 and early 2022 alongside the I Love Lean!!! format. In February 2022, the format inspired video edits on YouTube where internet celebrities and characters document their journey getting off lean.
