Some time ago, videos of singer, Joshua Iniyezo, aka Solid Star, surfaced online where he was looking dirty and walking aimlessly on the street.
According to his brother, Joseph, who posted the video, the singer was addicted to drugs and was being adversely affected by it.
However, Solid Star in a recent interview said he’s no longer addicted and did not indulge in those substances anymore.
He said, “I am very well and healthy now. I have been out of hospital for four months but I am still taking my medication. I no longer smoke or drink alcohol. I keep everything plain now. I am doing very fine; working to make the world dance again with the good vibe I always bring. I have a studio at my place, and I am ready for my fans. I have been working tirelessly to ensure I present quality music like I always do.”
Asked about the lessons he learnt during his ordeal, the ‘Omotena’ singer said, “I have learnt not to always be by myself because communication is very important. I was always by myself, so I became depressed, and I started seeing people around me as enemies. I have learnt to love and be positive.”
On if he got support from his colleagues during his low moments, he said, “Yes, I received support from friends, colleagues, fans and family. As a matter of fact, their support made my stay at the hospital comforting, and I appreciate all of them for their support. If not for their support, I would have had a terrible stay at the hospital. But, I was able to pay my bills and eat good meals because of them.”
