In the most recent edition of the Terms and Conditions podcast, Phenom gave a speech.
He said, “I wasn’t doing drugs before music. I don’t do drugs anymore, though. I was using it to boost my creativity.
“When I started smoking, I started with just puffing. And I remember, the first time I smoked I made my first hit song. So I felt like igbo [cannabis] gave me my hit song. So, I kept on going back. I did ‘Murder Dem’ with Wizkid, it was igbo. I was so high that they were holding me in the studio to record. I always went back to smoking weed because I felt like that was my source.
