Highlife musician Kofi Nti has opened up about one of his biggest regrets in life as an artiste, revealing how smoking and drinking once threatened to derail his music career.
Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on October 7, 2025, Kofi Nti admitted that although he was never a chain smoker, the habit had a negative impact on his lifestyle and career growth.
“Something like smoking. Even though I wasn’t a chain smoker, but smoking is something that you can get addicted to and can destroy your career and life” he said.

He continued, “You can be so addicted that even after a show, when you should be networking with VIPs who may help boost your career, you would be at the back smoking”.
The Rakia hitmaker revealed that he eventually made the decision to quit smoking and drinking completely after realizing how damaging the lifestyle could be to his success.
“I considered all these things before stopped smoking and drinking as well. I was influenced by friends and because of that, I don’t go close to such friends. I feel I might be tempted to start again if I keep associating with them” he added.
