The music star asserted that fans pay artistes to perform to certain frequency, roll and make them enjoy their music but this is no justification for them to depend on drugs.
According to him, being a creative alone is enough and that artistes do not need anything else to be special.
However, Ghanaian musician Rex Omar has called on the public to treat people who are addicted to drugs with love and care.
According to him, discriminating against them makes it difficult for them to heal from their addiction.
He made this statement during a discussion on ‘Creative Addictions’, a documentary on drug use among celebrities by Kwame Dadzie which aired on JoyNews on Tuesday, April 2, 2024.
“I will advise those who have not yet fallen victim. People can get into the industry clean, succeed clean and live their lives. The advice is exercise, do a lot of brisk walk and meditate.
To those who are always in, we should not blame them, we should not make them feel lesser than they are, we should just help them,” he said.
