He recounted:
“I was a very bright student while at UNILAG, but I was indulging in illicit drugs. One day, I took it and almost died. I called my mother to book my flight to return to Abuja. After that incident, I only took drugs once before quitting."
The rapper admitted that his story could have ended tragically, like many others who never recovered from drug addiction.
He stated:
“I’m grateful because some people went into that life and didn’t make it out. Some people didn’t make it alive. Some had lost people to it — they died because of drug abuse. Some even committed su*cide. I’ve seen a pregnant woman and her husband battling drug addiction. It’s really terrible!” he said.

Rapper Odumodu chides junior colleague
Legit.ng earlier reported that award-winning artist Odumodublvck issued a stern warning to budding artist Wavestar, who was closely affiliated with Blaqbonez.
In the clip, which surfaced online, the Declan Rice crooner was seen confronting Wavestar at a recent event, expressing his displeasure over the latter’s failure to greet him.
According to Odumodu, such behaviour was disrespectful and unacceptable, especially from someone who was his junior in the Nigerian music industry.
