Dancehall artistes, Shatta Wale has said he stopped smoking marijuana some four years ago after he realized he wielded power to influence the youth in the country.
He indicated that he realized it was not a good thing to do hence the need to put an end to it so others who look up to him will not copy.
Shatta Wale who was speaking to Accra-based Kasapa FM indicated that it has not been easy staying away from the drug he has been smoking for a very long time.
He said “I’ve been on wee break for about four to five years now… Yes I’ve smoked wee but at times when you’re a youth and still growing, you’ve to know when to do certain things.
“I wasn’t addicted to wee and can’t be a drug addict… It’s just that I’ve read more about myself and I know what I like about myself. When I want to cut it, I cut it and when I want to smoke again, I can smoke again but to go off wee break for about 4-5years isn’t easy”.
