Joshua Iniyezo, professionally known as Solid Star Isoko, recently shared some information regarding his three-year musical hiatus.
In a candid interview, the Nigerian musician, Solid Star, known for hits like One in a Million and Shaba, revealed a dark period in his life marked by mental health struggles and drug use. Solid Star stated that he was introduced to drugs, specifically “ice,” in 2021. This, he claims, significantly impacted his mental well-being, pushing him to the brink. The singer described experiencing a mental breakdown so severe that he almost lost his mind.
Adding another detail to a difficult time, Solid Star recounted walking a substantial distance, from Awoyaya to the Oriental Hotel, during this period. Awoyaya is a Lagos neighbourhood known to be quite far from the Oriental Hotel in Lekki.
