He, on the other hand, stated that he no longer uses drugs.
“I wasn’t doing drugs before music,” he explained. However, I no longer use drugs. It was helping me to be more creative.
“When I first started smoking, all I did was puff. And I recall writing my first hit song the first time I smoked. As a result, I felt as if igbo [cannabis] had given me my hit song. So I kept coming back. I performed ‘Murder Dem’ with Wizkid in Igbo. They were keeping me in the studio to record because I was so high. I always went back to smoking weed because I felt it was my source of energy.
