Cocaine.
That’s the answer. If you are at the peak of your career and making a lot of money…you should develop a crazy coke habit that leads into a downward spiral of pain, unhappiness, addiction and good fucking times. I remember when I was 18, I landed my best paying job cleaning office buildings afterdark, I made 10 dollars an hour and I tell you, I was living like a king. I had no family to support and all my money went up my nose!! It was the best time of my life.
Here is the Samantha Mumba story, scroll down for a few pictures. Yes, I know, She is dating Sisqo, his thong song changed my life….and was probably the reason the thong became so popular….I am working on getting him to write the DrunkenStepfather song….I know it will be instant success.
Irish singer turned actress Samantha Mumba has revealed the real reason why she has been out of the spotlight for the past few years: a £1,000-a-week cocaine habit that destroyed her career.Mumba explained that the pressures of the music industry led her to drug addiction which also lead to depression. After an 18-month battle to beat drugs she is now clean and planning to relaunch her career. She appears in the low-budget horror movie “Boy Eats Girl”, and takes a central role in “Johnny Was” with Roger Daltrey and Vinnie Jones.However, she will also be adding the finishing touches to her long-awaited follow-up album to 2000’s “Gotta Tell You”. The album featured several hits but when she began taking drugs, which she says she first used for confidence, her career soon began to suffer.”I think there was a lot of pressure from having a high profile job at such a young age but I think I was responsible for my own actions so I can’t blame it on the pressure of fame,” Mumba explained.”I think it was to do with my being insecure, young and confused at the time.” When I first started doing it you feel chatty and confident like you know everything but after a while it starts to have different affects like paranoia.”Samantha first tried cocaine around the age of 19 and it was not until a year later she knew she was addicted after realising the past year had been a “blur”.The addiction saw her spending up to £1,000 a week on cocaine and refusing to honour work commitments because of affects of coming down off the drugs.”I was quite difficult at the time so I sort of pushed all the people that cared about me away and shut myself off from them” she confessed.However, meeting boyfriend Sisqo was the turning point in her life and he has even written and produced tracks for her new album. But it took a lot of therapy and counselling to wean her off drugs.”It took a while and it was very hard. It took a year-and-a-half to two years of hardship and ups and downs of me deciding I wanted my life to change and having help from other people.She added: “I’m not doing this for a sympathy vote or publicity I just want to get it out there and move on with my life.”
