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.
