Sharing his life changing story on Citi FM’s Traffic Avenue, Yaw Siki
said though he used to be addicted to bad habits such as pornography and wee
smoking, he had been liberated from them after developing a personal
relationship with Christ.
Revealing other addictions he was
prone to, the former hip-life artiste said, “I use to smoke marijuana. I looked
quite innocent back then but I will just go to a ghetto close to me and smoke
marijuana. While I was smoking I knew I had to stop but I was still doing it
because it was an addiction”
Asked what motivated him to write those secular songs, he stated that his insatiable desire to be known and appreciated compelled him to do so.
He revealed that though his former career as a hip life artiste gave him so much exposure and introduced him to great people it was not a “fulfilling experience.”
According to him, most of the bad habits he developed came from the hip pop songs that he listened to.
Recalling the fatal accident he was involved in with another friend on the Tema Motorway in 2013, Yaw Siki said he was ‘ totally off, blank and not in existence” when the incident suddenly happened.
“I was just lying in my friend’s car dozing off when I heard him complaining about the reckless driving of another taxi driver. I suddenly went off, my mind was not working, my conscience was not working…,” he explained.
“The next time my eyes open slightly, I was in so much pain and my friend was beside me consoling me. The next time I woke up I was feeling a bit cool, but when I finally got my eyes opened and the pains started resurfacing I noticed I had been involved in an accident.
“The next thought that occurred to me was I could have died yesterday and if I died, was I ready to meet my maker, that was when I realized I need to change,” he added.
