Medikal Says Quitting Smoking And Alcohol Was The Best Decision He Ever Made
Ghanaian rapper Medikal has revealed that giving up smoking and alcohol is one of the most important decisions he has made in his life, crediting the change with improving his health, focus and overall wellbeing. In a recent interview, the musician spoke openly about how lifestyle changes have helped him grow personally and professionally.
Medikal explained that although he once enjoyed smoking and drinking in social settings early in his career, he gradually recognised that these habits were holding him back. He said that stepping away from tobacco and alcohol has given him more energy, clearer thinking and better discipline — qualities he believes have strengthened his performance and creativity in music. The rapper also emphasised that the decision wasn’t just about physical health but about becoming more intentional with his time and lifestyle choices.
According to Medikal, fans and followers have noticed a difference in his public persona since he quit, with many commending his commitment to a healthier life. He encouraged others who may be struggling with similar habits to consider making positive changes for their long-term benefit. Medikal said that while giving up smoking and drinking may be challenging, the rewards — especially for one’s health and personal growth — are worth the effort.
The artist’s comments add to broader discussions in Ghana’s entertainment community about the influence of lifestyle habits on mental and physical health. By sharing his own journey, Medikal hopes to inspire others to make conscious decisions that support their wellbeing and goals.
