Ishmael Opens Up About His Drug Addiction And Music Comeback. Legendary star Ishmael took a break in music which was caused by his excessive drug use leading to poor money status.
“I’ve been broke a couple of time. The many reports that said I was broke were not lying, I was. There were many times I was reckless with money, buying things I don’t need and spending on things that are not at all beneficial, like drugs. I’ve since learnt that I have no reason to do such things, so I hope people learn.”
He admits that fame has been a school of hard knocks.
“The hardest lesson I’ve had to learn… and I learnt it the hard way, was to respect money. That personally has been the hardest lesson I had to learn. Respect money, save money because days are not the same. Today you are guaped then all of a sudden, you are dry.”
The star added on how he has manages to make hid way back into music whenever he hit rock bottom.
“I don’t know why I always bounce back as far as music goes, but I think it’s because I’m highly motivated. Music itself motivates me. Everytime I listen to new music and new artists doing different things, it fascinates me and helps me always want to create something new as well.”
