Nigerian rapper, Odumodublvck, has shared his battle with illicit drug addiction and how he eventually overcame it.
He revealed that during his time at the University of Lagos, he experimented with hard drugs and nearly lost his life to an overdose.
The Pity The Boy crooner recounted how, during the frightening episode, he called his mother to book a flight for him to return to Abuja. According to him, after that close call, he only used drugs once more before deciding to quit completely.
“I was a very bright student while studying at the University of Lagos. But I was indulging in illicit drugs. One day, I took it and almost died. I called my mother to book my flight to return to Abuja. After that incident, I only took drug once before quitting,” he revealed on the Tea With Tay podcast.
Expressing gratitude to God, Odumodublvck acknowledged that many others never make it out of substance abuse alive.
He also cautioned young people against drug use, stressing its devastating consequences.
“I’m grateful because there are some people that went into that life [illicit substance consumption] and they didn’t make it out. Some people didn’t make it alive, some had lost people to it like they died because of drug abuse. Some even committed suicide due to drug overdose. I’ve seen a pregnant woman and her husband battling drug addiction. It’s really terrible!” he added.
