Ghanaian musician Trigmatic has cautioned young creatives about the harmful effects of drug abuse on their careers.
In an interview with Nana Romeo on Accra FM on February 21, 2025, Trigmatic stated that artistes who rely on drugs to boost their confidence are exhibiting signs of weakness.
He emphasized that drugs have the potential to destroy great talent if caution is not exercised.
“I don’t see why you would do something that could kill or destroy you just because advertisers have made it seem cool. If you think that will give you validation, then you are weak. Because if you truly believe in yourself, you won’t do drugs or be swayed by pressure from others,” he said.
Trigmatic further advised creatives to steer clear of drug abuse and womanizing, warning that fame, if not properly managed, can lead to one’s downfall.
“There are people in high places who cultivate these drugs, and their goal is to use artistes to promote them. As for fame, it naturally attracts attention, especially from women, but it all depends on how you handle it.
“As a man, if you want to be independent mentally, physically, and emotionally, don’t engage in anything that controls you whether it’s drug abuse or womanizing. I personally avoid anything that puts me under subjection,” he added.
