Ladies, heavy alcohol consumption, drugs and high
rate of smoking are tantamount to the Nigerian music industry. We are not surprised about this as most Nigerian
artistes indulge in them. What, however, amazes many is that these artistes
find joy engaging in these habits heavily. Some music fans will tell you that they
can’t boast of any hip-hop artiste who doesn’t smoke or consumes liquor to
stimulate energy on stage. Though, they usually look calm and innocent, sources
say the way they embraced stick in the corner of their houses speaks volume of
their interest. In this story, SHOKISHOMBOLO NEWS lists the artistes who people
believe fall into this category.
Enjoy…
2Face
“Who say 2face
no dey smoke, come Festac come see film”. This is what those that are close to
2Face will tell you if you try to tell them that Innocent Idibia, the African
Queen crooner is truly innocent.
General Pype
General Pype is
one of the wave-making artistes of the moment. The former Storm Records label
member has proved his worth on the musical scene. His musical talent cuts across.
But what many say spoils the Obalende boy is his smoking habit. Oh! He smokes
and he doesn’t hide it.
MI
Rapper, Jude
Abaga and well-known as MI, we gathered, is also a chimney before he was
diagnosed of asthma. Asthma is a partial seizure of breath of the victim.
Asthma patients are mostly affected with choked or contaminated air from
cigarettes.
9ice
In the Nigerian
music industry, he is worthy of emulation being the rocky pillar behind the
success of the fast-rising act, Seriki, but what baffles people is the way the one-time
favourite artiste of music lovers smokes. In fact, he’s not ashamed to dedicate
a track for the illegal weed (Igbo) in his first album. Aside his heavy smoking
habit, we learnt he also drinks a lot.
Wizkid
He is young,
talented and his music career continues to soar despite the fact that he dumped
his former boss, Bank W. This talented kid was said to have been caught
severally at Elegushi Beach smoking with friends and drinking heavily to the
extent that he often times could not walk home without aid.
Timaya
Everyone knows about
Timaya’s deep smoking habit but what they don’t know, perhaps, is when the acclaimed
Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa will put an end to the risky act. Though, he is being
conscious of where he smokes, friends close to him say he’s a heavy smoker and
drunkard.
Terry G.
Terry G does not
need introduction in the industry of weed smoking as the Ganja farmer always
portrays himself as a diehard smoker. His picture has been posted on social
media severally where he was caught in the act. If you are his friend that only
drinks occasionally, don’t try to collect or sip Terry G’s drink as you will
blame yourself. We were told that, he usually blends it with weed (Igbo). He
will tell you that, smoking is the ginger that gingers his swagger. Some people
even tag him a ‘Great Ganjarist’
2Shotz
Nigerian Rapper,
William Orioha aka 2Shotz, has been smoking and drinking for so long especially
when he goes for shows outside Lagos. In fact, there was a show we learnt he
was billed to perform but after allegedly drinking to stupor, he slept off and
could not mount the stage until the following day.
W4
Festac based
artiste, Adewale Adepoju a.k.a W4, is also a heavy smoker. This Osun State-born Fela’s protégé has
severally been spotted puffing himself heavily.
Don Jazzy
It was like a
celebration of smoke for Nigerian topmost producer, Don Jazzy recently at
Oriental Hotel, Lagos. Such was one of Don Jazzy’s smoking sessions, though. Aside smoking, he is also said to love drinking
alcohol heavily.
