Honey Singh Opens Up About 8-Year Struggle to Remove Drugs From His Body

Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh has revealed the long and painful journey of recovering from drug addiction, a struggle that severely affected his health, career, and confidence. Speaking candidly, he said that even after quitting drugs, it took eight years for the toxins to fully leave his body, causing lasting physical and mental effects.

“Even after I stopped taking drugs, they did not leave my body. It took almost 8 years for the toxins to go away. The damage stayed for a long time,” Honey Singh stated, explaining that he continues to experience anxiety, mood swings, low confidence, and physical weakness.

The Beginning of His Struggle

Honey Singh shared that his drug use began during the peak of his stardom. Fame, pressure, and a hectic lifestyle led him to experiment with drugs, which soon turned into an addiction. “I made some mistakes. Drugs harmed me badly. I did not understand how dangerous they were until it was too late,” he admitted. The addiction affected his sleep, energy levels, and overall sense of self, making it difficult to work or perform.

Impact on Health and Career

During his battle with addiction, Honey Singh faced severe mental health challenges, including depression and anxiety. “I did not feel normal. My mind was not stable. I could not perform, I could not face the camera. It was the lowest point of my life,” he said. His physical health also suffered, with fluctuating weight and loss of routine, leading to noticeable absences from the music industry.

Taking a Break and Recovery

During the worst phase of his addiction, Honey Singh chose to isolate himself from public life. “I isolated myself because I wasn’t in a condition to perform. I needed time to fix myself,” he explained. With support from his family, doctors, and therapy, he gradually recovered. “Treatment and support changed everything. I slowly started healing,” he said. His comeback songs were well-received by fans, marking a strong re-entry into the music scene.

Message to Youth

Honey Singh used his experience to warn others about the dangers of drug addiction. “Drugs do not give you anything. They only destroy. If you are struggling, please ask for help,” he advised. His story serves as a reminder that mental health and stress should be addressed through therapy and family support, rather than turning to substances.
