He said, “There was a day my manager saw me and was alarmed by my condition. He asked what was wrong with me and I told him I only smoked weed.
“So I started acting crazy. All of a sudden I started walking on the street. I walked down to Mavin studio barefooted. I feel like I’m God’s favourite because nobody recorded me during the episode. If someone had recorded me, it would have messed with my confidence, my career and everything.
“When I got to Mavin studio gate, I sat in front of the gate and I was like, ‘I’m tired, mehn.’ I took off my shirt and smashed my iPhone. Then calls start coming in. Rem called, BabyFresy and everybody was shouting. They were asking what was wrong with me and I said I was tired.
“Rema drove there and carried a stick, he was ready to fight. I was lying down on Rema’s lap. Rema was like, ‘Bro, trust me, once you pass this stage, you will come out great because I feel like this is the final battle you’re about to fight.’
“I could not recognise anybody but I remember that word. It was so bad I almost jumped out of a moving car. It was that crazy. It was similar to Mohbad’s situation.
“They took me to one of the psychiatric hospitals in Lekki. It was deep and after everything, I came back and went to Don Jazzy’s house.”
