The Delta-born star, via his verified Instagram page on Friday, said he almost lost his life due to hard drugs addiction.

“I almost lost my life because of ice, Pills and cigarettes #stopdrugs if you can’t stop them all, smoke Igbo,” he wrote.
The post, however, has generated reactions from many Nigerians who urged the singer to quit all forms of drug use and not just some.
