Charles Oputa, also known as Charly Boy, a veteran performer, has revealed that he does not consume alcohol.
He also stated that he has tried to quit smoking but has struggled with the addiction.
In a recent interview with actress Iyabo Ojo, the maverick singer admitted to drinking a small amount of alcoholic wine but insisted that he is not a frequent drinker.
The 73-year-old attributes his fitness to genetic factors as well as his lifestyle, noting that his parents and grandparents enjoyed long lives.

He said, “I was lucky enough to form the habit of always going to the gym and looking after my physical wellbeing. You know, people in the [entertainment] industry a lot of things are speculated about them. But I don’t drink. I’ve never drank [alcohol] in my life. Except you add small wine to it sometimes when I feel like socialising [laughs].
“I’m trying to give up my nicotine [smoking] habit. Because it’s really not good for me. The longest I’ve abstained I think was about seven years. I’ve been having battles with it back and forth. I quit sometimes, I come back.”
