My drug use began when I got into music industry – Rapper Phenom

Nigerian hip-hop artist Phenom has opened up about his past struggles with substance abuse, explaining that he started using drugs when he entered the music industry.

He admitted to becoming addicted to cannabis because he believed it provided the inspiration for his first hit song.

Phenom shared his experiences on the Terms And Conditions podcast, where he described how he initially thought that using drugs would enhance his creativity and help him produce more hit songs.

However, he clarified that he has since overcome his drug use.

He stated, “I wasn’t using drugs before my music career, and I don’t use drugs anymore. I was using them to boost my creativity.”

“When I started smoking, I started with just puffing. And I remember, the first time I smoked I made my first hit song. So I felt like igbo [cannabis] gave me my hit song. So, I kept on going back. I did ‘Murder Dem’ with Wizkid, it was igbo. I was so high that they were holding me in the studio to record. I always went back to smoking weed because I felt like that was my source.
