After some years of smoking week and taking hard
drugs, Veteran Musician, Baba Fryo has
declared he has stopped the trade, about 3
years ago.
In a chat with Sunday Scoop, he says it’s just
plain stupidity for one to abuse or take any hard
drug, as there are no benefits innit.
He said,
“To me, it is just stupidity for one to abuse
anything or take hard drugs because I don’t see
the benefit. Anyone who takes hard drugs is
just ‘donating’ madness to him or herself.
Most
of these young guys indulge in these things
because they either want to show off or are
influenced by their friends.
“As for me, drugs don’t add anything to me.
Now, I only take alcohol and that is whenever I
am in the midst of friends, but I don’t drink
excessively.”
He admitted that he took weed for many years
before he realised that it was adding nothing to
him.
“I took weed for so many years, but I stopped
about three years ago. I asked myself what it was
adding to me and I didn’t get any positive answer.
I would just be calm and quiet for like four hours
and people would keep wondering what was
wrong with me. I also calculated the amount of
money I was spending monthly to sustain the
habit and it occurred to me that this tidy sum
could be put to better use. For anyone who takes
cocaine or any other type of hard drug, he or she
is killing himself gradually.
“I talk to younger artistes who are close to me,
but I can only advise them. For the ones who are
not close to me, there is no way I can talk to
them because some of these boys are arrogant.
Once I sense that you are full of yourself, I don’t
come near you,” the Notice Me singer said.
