Popular Nigerian rapper, Yung6ix, has cried out about his addiction to smoking weed. He recently revealed that he needs help on how to quit smoking marijuana as soon as possible.
Speaking via his social media page, the lyricist shared that smoking has been a long-term habit for him, but he has finally had enough, and his body can no longer take it.
According to him, he has been a weed smoker for more than 2 decades, and it has eventually led him to he point of wanting to do away with his bad habit.
Yung6ix disclosed that he recently reduced how much he pays for weed to $600 per month, but he needs urgent help to ensure he doesn’t have to spend one naira on it thereafter.
“Coming out today to tell everyone I need help. I’ve been smoking for 21 years now and my body is telling me to stop. I’m trying but it’s not easy, I’ve reduced how much I spend buying weed to $600 a month and I need help to turn that to $0. Any help?” he wrote.

The Warri rapper’s bold confession immediately attracted responses from his fans and colleagues in the industry, and fellow rapper, Phenom, came out to say he can link Yung6ix with his doctor who cured his own addiction years back.
Phenom tweeted that he quit smoking 10 years after medical assistance from his doctor, and he has had no cause to relapse since that time.
“10 years since I quit smoking. [I] can link you up with the doctor that helped me,” Phenom wrote.
Reacting, Yung6ix appreciated his friend for coming through with needed assistance, while expressing surprise that his colleague was able to overcome his smoking struggles.
The revelation and exchange that followed it have since sparked conversations around addiction among Nigerians on social media. While some citizens are emphasising the importance of seeking support in overcoming substance use, others are hailing Yung6ix for being bold enough to let go of an addiction that could be the end of him.
