 I No Longer Smoke Or Take Alcohol, Says Solid Star 

Many were surprised when some time ago, videos surfaced online showing a popular singer, Joshua Iniyezo, aka Solid Star, 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, in an interview with Saturday Beats, Solid Star stated that he was 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 now, but I am still taking my medication. I no longer smoke nor take 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 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.”
