Nigerian singer, Joshua Iniyezo better known by his stage name, Solidstar has opened up on his battle with drug abuse.

In an interview on The Honest Bunch podcast, he recounted how he got into the world of hard substances in 2021. According to the music star, he was introduced to ‘Ice’ by some young chaps, which had a terrible effect on him.

Sharing his sad story, he revealed that after using the hard substance, he would start feeling like a King with a voice telling him not to pay for things. To make it worse, he once trekked from Awoyaya, a part of Lagos mainland to the Or!ental Hotel on the Island.

This substance now, sometimes the thing go tell me say ‘you’re a king, you’re this, you’re that.’ E go tell me say I don be king, make I no dey pay stuff. Can you imagine say I waka from Awoyaya to Oriéntal Hotel!”.

This isn’t the first time, Solidstar has spoken out on drug abuse.

In 2022, Solidstar narrated how he nearly died because of drug abuse and addiction.

In 2019, the Delta-born star also shared a post where he recounted how he had overdosed on drugs, which led to him bleeding.

The Afropop artiste also apologized to whoever might have been hurt due to the incident.

Last year, Solidstar topped headlines after his younger brother, Joseph Iniyezo, had publicly cried out for help over him, as he revealed he was sick and battling mental health.

In the video, the brother noted how the singer had been critically sick for a while, and how he had been battling mental illness, hence his withdrawal from the spotlight.
