One of Ghana’s Dancehall artist, Epixode has disclosed as an artist he is not into drinking alcohol and smoking as most artists do.
Many music lovers have a perception that most artists are into drugs, smoking, and drinking of alcohol because that is what most showbiz people are known for apart from their career.
In an interview with Joy Prime’s Kwame Dadzie, Epixode revealed that he was brought up in a way which prohibits drinking of alcohol, smoking and others and that has helped him to overcome temptations of venturing into that.
When quizzed about how he feels about being the odd one among his colleagues who is not into these lifestyles he said always pretends to belong to their circle so that they will not be left out.
“Sometimes I fake it. Sometimes I dey backstage nor somebody go come. Chale you get lighter for there? Then I will say ‘Oh, the last one finish ooo. Not to actually say that the people who do it are bad.”
“From even a fan’s perspective, they idolize you. They look at you in certain ways. They look at you as somebody who they can see themselves in.”
Epixode said he does that so they don’t feel condemned for their act.
