I'm Scared Of Rehab - Majek Fashek Confesses

 

Nigerian reggae icon, Majek Fashek has revealed his fear of going into rehabilitation following his previous experience in the United States.

Speaking with Encomium Magazine on Monday, Majek, who is currently battling drug addiction, claimed that the treatment given in rehab weakens a person's mind and reduces their sex drive.

He said his first contact with Rehab in the US really helped him. "Yeah, America really helped me. Most American superstars go to rehab because they take cocaine, heroin and the likes which makes them 'too high'. So they have to go to rehab. Rehab helps calm their brains after which they go back to their business. For me rehab was helpful. I was high but after rehab, I got my contract with Top Gun International. That's Bob Marley's label. I got it through his wife Rita Marley and an American woman, Cassandra. Rehab calms the brain so it won't explode. It calmed me", he said.

In response to a question if he ever stopped indulging in hard drugs after rehab, the 'Send down the rain' singer said: "I am scared of Rehab. Let me tell you what I did to escape the rehab. God gave me different knowledge of Orisha, babalawo knowledge. My ancestral knowledge which is what I am using right now. I now drink akpeteshie. It's the orisha idea I got".

Asked which one he prefers between akpeteshie (ogogoro) and rehab, Majek said "I prefer akpeteshie in the sense that the white man's drugs weakens your mind, might not even be able to have sex".

Speaking of his estranged wife, Rita, who has reportedly relocated to Nigeria to help him seek help with his drug addiction, Majek says he will accept her back only if she apologies to him.

"It's up to my wife. If she loves me. She is a woman. She won't live forever. Nobody can except God. If she loves her children, she will reunite with me so I can help them. It was the celestial church that confused her. They gave her wrong vision about me. The celestial church can't try me anyday, anytime. I will attack them. I am Laura, not celestial. I will burn them. I am equipped spiritually. You no see wetin I put there (points to a praying mat with a huge bible and an Islamic talisman on it). If she's she will apologize. And when she does, I will take her back", he said.
