Popular Ghanaian singer, Rudolph Nana Kwame, known in showbiz as Nasty, has disclosed that he has been a drug addict for 22 years and tells the story of how it all began.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to him, most Boys\u2019 Schools in Ghana are drug-infested. Nasty attended Adisadel College, where he started as a drug peddler and eventually started using. In an exclusive interview on SVTV AFRICA with DJ Nyaami, Nasty revealed that he began with cigarettes and \u2018graduated\u2019 to more addictive drugs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt started from Adisco. I won\u2019t only mention Adisco but all the boys\u2019 schools. It all began with cigarettes. Eventually, you\u2019d need something stronger, and then you try weed. By the time I realized, I was a captive (to it).<\/p>\n
I was a baron. I used to package it for people to travel along with. I wasn\u2019t using it at the time. It was all greed. One time, I sent the package to someone, and he asked me to taste it first. The next day, I wanted to try it again. I was in SHS 3. That was when I became addicted,\u201d he recounted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The \u2018Wo Sisi Ye Wo Ya\u2019 singer stated that drug addiction is spiritually inclined because of the lack of control addicts have over it. Moreover, Nasty advised the youth to avoid drugs for their safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will make you more active, but it will blindfold you and introduce a new world. (A new world) beyond control. It is spiritually captive. I\u2019m telling you what I feel and what it is. People come back from rehab, and after two years, they go back into drugs. I\u2019ve been a drug addict for 22 years. I had the money back then, and it wasn\u2019t even from the music.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking on rehab, Nasty mentioned that his family has taken him to several rehabilitation centres in Ghana, but it didn\u2019t help. According to him, he is alive because he knows his limits, and \u201cI eat good food. I know when I\u2019m getting sick. I\u2019m focused.\u201d<\/p>\n
The hitmaker indicated that rehab is not a hundred per cent solution for drug addicts. He stated that the only solution is self-control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nasty was a part of the music group Lifeline Family with hipline greats like T-Blaze, Yogie Doggy, and Jay Dee, among others. He worked with Kontihene, Daasebre, Yoogie Doggy, etc.<\/p>\n
