Majek Fashek - How did this happen?

Before                                                                                Now

Reggae Legend and guitarist, Majekodunmi Fashekun, popularly known as Majek Fashek, who has been off the music scene for a while, has finally cleared the air on what happened to his career.

Majek in a chat on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds said he has never taken drugs in 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.”

"I'm under spiritual attack, he said"

In the interview, The Rainmaker Majek also revealed he has finally relocated to Nigeria and was working on a new album.

Media reports last year said Majek Fashek’s health had deteriorated with claims he was battling with mental illness. However, in an interview 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 with the release of his debut album, Prisoner of Conscience containing the hit track Send Down The Rain.

He was hailed as the new Bob Marley and inked an international recording deal with Interscope. However, the musician’s fortunes dwin­dled amid reports of drug addiction.

He said he's under a spiritual attack, maybe that was what actually happened.

Drugs! That's how it happened. That man is a drug addict.

Does it mean they won't succeed in the music world without dealing on drugs? Because almost all musicians are drug addicts.
