Rapper recalls drug abuse days and recovery

The 37-year-old rapper was part of the 1990s and early millennium rap/kwaito outfit Able Bodied, which was established in 1995. “In my early days of rapping its’ when I was introduced to ecstasy, which I enjoyed more than marijuana. Everytime I took it I felt like a butterfly floating and I was hyper active,” G’Word said, as he showed a butterfly tattoo on his shoulder which was inspired by the feeling. He noted that after consuming the drugs he felt good as it also eased the shot temper he had when sober. 

While taking his drugs he kept the habit a secret from his family, which was only known to his accomplices and suppliers that he would not mention. His family was suspicious of the habit that he was hooked to drugs such as marijuana because of his behaviour.
