Popular singer Gilad Milo has shocked many after coming out to confess that she has spent millions on smoking cigarettes.

Speaking to Betty Kyalo, the popular singer confessed that he was addicted to smoking and would smoke 40 cigarettes a day. He also added that he wasn’t much into alcohol, therefore, didn’t have a problem with it.

‘I was never a big drinker but, I still have a beer once in a while I no longer drink every time I go out. The main reason why I quit smoking was because I used to smoke 40 cigarettes in a day (2 packets) for 30 plus years,” he said. 

Meetings

He further added that the habit even affected his work since he planned meetings where he knew he could smoke.

“Back in the day if I went up the stair-like we did now I would be coughing and puffing. It was not a beautiful life. In my mind, I knew that before I left home I had planned on attending a wedding but I did not plan on attending while looking unkempt,” he said.

When Gilad Millo debuted on the Kenyan entertainment scene circa 2015 with Unajua featuring Wendy Kimani, he left many music fans, including yours truly, totally amazed.

Despite the fact that most of us had never heard of him before, we were really impressed that a mzungu had sang in Swahili and aced it.

To date, Unajua  is one of the most classic love ballads from Kenya. Where is the lie?

Gilad, who served as a diplomat between 2003 and 2005, went on to release songs such as Sema Milele, Rangi Ya Bahari, Salama, Nakuahidi, Usiende, Mapenzi, Fire, Asante just to name a few.

Before we knew it, he had become household name never mind the fact that he does not understand the Swahili language well.

His consistency has also played a huge role in making him one of the most sought-after artists in Kenya.

That aside, if you are keen, you’ll notice that he varies his style with every subsequent release.

Some of his songs are soulful ballads, the kind that can make you tear up as you listen to them. However, others have a Kapuka touch that will make you dance rather than emotional.

Take for instance his latest release dubbed Kawaida Guy and Fire, a collabo he released with Deal in 2018. It’s almost as if the songs were done by two different people.

Perhaps, our local artists should borrow a leaf from this Israeli born and bred singer! After all, he’s living proof that passion is all it takes to succeed.
