We don’t know if you’ll enjoy it, but share to discourage someone from addictive substances.





Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston was everybody’s favorite singer. She was also a producer and an actress, starring in hugely successful movies like The Bodyguard and The Preacher’s Wife. In 2009, the Guinness World Records named her the most awarded female act ever, adding to the, well, list of accolades she’d already received. Despite all these, she was addicted to drugs – a habit she (is said to have) picked up from her husband and partner – Bobby Brown. She died on the 11th of February 2012, as a result of drowning due to intoxication.

Amy Winehouse

Born 14th, September 1983, Amy was an English singer and songwriter who was known for her deep contralto vocals and eclectic mix of musical genres. Everyone who knew her personally said she was a sweetheart, but she was also addicted to alcohol. In ****, she died as a result of alcohol poisoning.

Majek Fashek

Once upon a time, Majekodunmi Fasheke was the biggest music act from Nigeria. He was the first African to perform on the now-defunct US legendary talk show – Late Night Show with David Letterman and he was once signed to Interscope Records. 

During the course of his career, he worked with acts like Michael Jackson, Snoop Dogg, Tracy Chapman, Jimmy Cliff and Beyoncé. Unfortunately, his addiction to drugs ruined his career, and life. He was checked into a rehabilitation facility in 2015 and is making an attempt to return to the music industry. 

 Britney Spears

Britney Spears was born in 1981 and is especially popular for her album, Oops! I did it again. She was so big that she was once described as the biggest female pop star on earth, but she became addicted to drugs and everything fell apart. Today, she has lost millions of fans, endorsement deals, and is a shadow of her former self. 

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay started her career as a child, and she was everybody’s sweetheart. It was overwhelming to watch her grow from that cheeky little girl to, well, a woman with numerous mug shots from post-drunken sprees. Coupled with kleptomania, she hasn’t had an easy adult life, and this has cost her a lot in revenue money.
