I\u2019ve had low moments in life, but I\u2019ve never been depressed, and I always say I think the reason is because I don\u2019t smoke weed, cigarettes,\u00a0 (drink) intense alcohol, or do any of those things. I feel that for you to go through depression, if you\u2019re at your lowest and you do those things, it might drive you into that space. I prefer sex to smoking and anything else. It\u2019s healthier,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite his love for sex, the \u201c<strong><em>Toto<\/em><\/strong>\u201d hitmaker asserted that he is not addicted to sex or any other thing because the Bible considers things people are addicted to as their gods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rapper Edem further added that even though he smokes shisha once in a blue moon, he is unable to perform properly on stage after drinking or smoking. He said having a clear mind puts him in the best position to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said he has neither been pressured nor influenced to engage in smoking, but people who get close to him reduce their level of engagement with such activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rapper does not condemn the act. However, he is of the view that it should be done proportionately to maintain a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Known for his hit songs \u201c<strong><em>Nyedzilo<\/em><\/strong>,\u201d \u00a0\u201c<strong><em>Koene<\/em><\/strong>,\u201d and \u201c<strong><em>Over Again<\/em><\/strong>,\u201d among others, Edem says he is a lover of pubbing and does it almost every weekend. This is why he has recorded his new song, \u201cWe Don\u2019t Really Care,\u201d which he is currently promoting.<\/p>\n\n \n                               <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n                <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                         \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghanaian rapper Edem, born Denning Edem Hotor, has said that he will always prefer sex to smoking cannabis.
