South African star, Nasty C, has shared the reason behind quitting alcohol. The rapper, while speaking in a recent interview with British-Nigerian media personality, Madame Joyce, stated that at a point in time, he was addicted to drinking alcohol, and it crowded every activity he was involved in.

He also shared how he became used to alcohol to the extent that he never got intoxicated easily, however, he had to leave drinking because he didn't want to age quickly.

He wrote:
“I was addicted to alcohol. I was drinking every night. Everytime I go to the studio, restaurant, I drink. Everytime I perform, I drink.

“Also, my tolerance when it comes to alcohol was very high, too. When I drink alcohol with friends, I would be the last one to be intoxicated. And I feel it’s a bad thing because you never know when something is going wrong until it’s too late. I got off the vodka a little bit but I was drinking everything else. Whisky, cognac, tequila, rum – I was drinking everything.

I gave up alcohol because I don’t want to get a ‘phuza face.’ There’s a thing in South Africa we call a ‘phuza face’ – when you age really quickly because you drink a lot of alcohol, when you start looking 10 years older than you actually are.”
