Gengetone artist Maddox has recently made headlines after a social media video showed him in a distressed state, leading many to speculate about his involvement in drug use. In response to Oga Obinna’s offer to help him enter rehab, Maddox has firmly declined, insisting he is not addicted and does not require rehabilitation. His announcement has stirred discussions and drawn varied reactions from fans and fellow artists alike.
Maddox’s Denial and Fan Support
In a recent video, Maddox directly addressed the rumors surrounding his alleged drug use. “I am not addicted; I am OK. I do not need to go to rehab. I am not a fan of drugs, and right now, I am not using alcohol or drugs,” he stated. The artist clarified that his previous state of intoxication was not indicative of a drug problem but rather a result of frustration due to financial struggles. “Unless I become a water or soda ambassador, I was not being paid, so I was frustrated,” he added.
Maddox expressed gratitude to his fans, acknowledging their role in his survival during tough times. Despite the challenges, he revealed that he has been receiving support from his followers. “Fans have never forgotten me; I would be starving on the streets, and they would give me cash. I was living by the grace of people,” Maddox shared. This outpouring of support has been crucial in helping him navigate through difficult periods.
Oga Obinna’s Concern and Response
Oga Obinna, a fellow artist and social media personality, had previously expressed concern for Maddox’s well-being. He had been actively seeking to locate Maddox to offer him assistance, particularly through rehabilitation. Obinna’s effort was evident in his social media posts where he requested anyone with information about Maddox’s whereabouts to contact him. “I am still struggling to find Maddox. I am really trying to find him so that we can take him to rehab. We need to save him,” Obinna had said.
In response to the recent video where Maddox addressed his situation, Obinna reacted with a supportive message: “Haya, all the best bro.” Despite his previous call for rehab, Obinna’s comment suggests he respects Maddox’s decision and wishes him well. This reaction highlights Obinna’s genuine concern for his colleague, even if their approaches differ.
Collaborative Efforts and Future Plans
Amid the ongoing discussions, another artist, Dufla, has also joined the conversation. Dufla revealed on Instagram that he had been in contact with Maddox and was exploring ways to support him. “I am with Maddox. His friend called me about him, and I invited them to meet up so we could figure out the way forward,” Dufla posted. He expressed appreciation for Obinna’s efforts and suggested a collaborative approach to help Maddox. “I’m glad Oga Obinna is looking for Maddox. Bro, call me so we can see what to do,” Dufla concluded.
This collaborative spirit among artists reflects a collective desire to support Maddox during his challenges. While Maddox has declined the rehab offer, the ongoing support from fans and fellow artists underscores a community effort to assist him in any way possible.
Conclusion
Maddox’s recent statements and the reactions from various individuals highlight a complex situation involving personal struggles and public perceptions. While he has firmly rejected the need for rehab, the support from his fans and fellow artists demonstrates a strong network ready to help him through his difficulties.
