Couldn’t do anything without drugs

Ray C said she was a slave to drugs, she explained that her body couldn’t function without drugs. The songbird cautioned Mombasa residents against using drugs saying it has adverse effects to users.

“Addiction took three of the best of me. I was heartbroken. My brain was taken away by drug use. My brain was not working because there was something else in my brain telling me I could not perform on stage without drugs, that I could not do anything without drugs. I could not go anywhere without drugs, therefore I was a prisoner in my own soul. Wengi wanaoingia kwenye madawa, watu wanaathirika maini kwenye madawa, watu wanatumia sindano pamoja wanapata HIV, wanawake wanajiuza ili mradi aweze kupata pesa aweze kukidhi ule utegemezi wake,” said Ray C.
