Terry G is one controversial Nigerian artiste. Despite this, he continues to remain relevant in the music industry.
In an interview with Punch, he opened up on indulging in hard drugs, became an addict and overcame his addiction.
Terry G said he was introduced into hard drugs by an actress. He however failed to mention the name of the actress.
On how he started taking hard drugs, he said that, “People actually see me as a very bad guy, so it does not surprise me when I go to certain places and they offer me some things because they think I already indulge in them. It was a gathering of celebrities and they say when you are in Rome act like a Roman. I was offered and I did not want to be seen as the odd one out, so I indulged in it with them,”
Talking about how he was able to quit, he said that he discovered that it was not his thing plus taking hard drugs slows him down.
In his words, “I am the first born of my family and I felt it would not be good to continue with such. Also, God has blessed me with enough energy. My fans know me to be very energetic and I believe that anything that could slow me down can kill me. I spoke to myself because the substance normally slowed me down and I decided to stop it. While I indulged in it, nobody knew because I know how to control myself,”
He further said, “I cut off all relationships that I had with that set of people. We stopped communicating. I have never bought it before in my life, so it was easy to stop once I cut those people off.”
