Famous South African rapper, Nasty C has revealed why he quit drinking.
The singer who suffered with alcohol addiction revealed that he was drinking alcohol everyday and everywhere until he decided to give up the addiction.
Nasty C explained that he quit alcohol because he doesn’t want to look older than his age.
The 28-year-old rapper claimed that South Africans believe that excessive alcohol consumption could make someone look 10 years older than they actually are.
Speaking in a recent interview with British-Nigerian media personality, Madame Joyce, Nasty C said, “I was addicted to alcohol. I was drinking every night. Everytime I go to the studio, restaurant, I drink. Everytime I perform, I drink.
“Also, my tolerance when it comes to alcohol was very high, too. When I drink alcohol with friends, I would be the last one to be intoxicated. And I feel it’s a bad thing because you never know when something is going wrong until it’s too late. I got off the vodka a little bit but I was drinking everything else. Whisky, cognac, tequila, rum – I was drinking everything.
“I gave up alcohol because I don’t want to get a ‘phuza face.’ There’s a thing in South Africa we call a ‘phuza face’ – when you age really quickly because you drink a lot of alcohol, when you start looking 10 years older than you actually are.”
