Famous Tanzanian singer Hawa, who featured in Diamond Platnumz’s hit song Nitarejea has admitted to be an alcoholic battling with addiction. The singer has been battling with alcohol and tobacco addiction and is slowly rotting away.
The once hit maker is now a shell of her former self, and is now single after her husband dumped her.
The two tied the knot two years ago, but her husband walked away only four months into the marriage without a word.
“Since leaving me behind, I have never seen him! My husband’s absence made depression creep up, pushing me into consuming more and more alcohol; smoking more tobacco sticks, I was waiting on him to return. I had no money to buy expensive alcohol. I therefore, resorted to cheap liquor,” she said.
She revealed the painful during an interview with Global publishers and pleaded for rehabilitation.
“Throughout the stages of depression that i have gone through, I have lost some acumen in music. But I hope after treatment, I would reclaim my position in the music industry,” she added.
