finally cleared the air on what
happened to his career.
Majek in a chat on Channels TV’s
Rubbin’ Minds said that he had
never taken drugs all his life and
what was responsible for his
haggard looks and stagnant career
was spiritual attack by witches
and what he described as home
trouble.
He said: “I never used drugs. I
have home trouble. When people
see your star they begin to get
jealous and they want to kill it.
That was what happened to me.”

finally relocated to Nigeria and
was working on a new album.

battling with mental illness

last year he denied being Mad
saying: “I’m a strong man. I may
look old and rough right now, but I
know what I’m saying and what
I’m doing. Many people think that
Majek has gone and that Majek is
no more, but I’m still here and I’m
probably going to live longer than
a lot of you.”
The Edo born Majek who was once
one of the biggest musicans in
Africa hit limelight in the 1980s

recording deal with Interscope,
