Embattled
Nigerian reggae legend, Majek Fashek, who is currently struggling with
drug addiction narrated his experience while he was in the
Rehabilitation center in America.
Speaking with Encomium magazine,
Fashek stated that in as much as his experience in the US rehab was
helpful, he would not love to go back to a rehab. read more after the cut
He said, “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.”
Expressing his fears about the rehab,
Fashek 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.
“I prefer akpeteshie (ogogoro) in the sense that the white man’s drugs weakens your mind, might not even be able to have sex.”
While speaking on his failed marriage
with his wife, Rita Fashek, the veteran reggae star said that he is
willing to reunite with his estranged wife if she loves him and their
children enough to make it happen.
He also stated that his wife was
deceived by the Celestial Church, adding that they won’t dare him as he
is more spiritually equipped now than before.
He said, “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.”
In the meantime, a fundraising campaign has been launched online aimed at gathering funds to assist the reggae star.
His ex-wife recently uploaded a video
to Youtube asking Nigerians to participate in the campaign to bring her
embattled husband back to normal again.
