Gospel artist Mike Kesse claims that drug addiction in celebrities might be linked to spiritual influences as well as peer pressure and bad company.

Kesse: There are spiritual factors underlying drug addiction, which goes beyond peer pressure

He thus urged musicians who were struggling with drug addiction to look to the God-factor for their recovery.

There are occasions when it goes well beyond what we see as peer pressure. We ought to consider the spiritual side of things as well.

It has a spiritual component. It resembles inheriting from family. It goes deeper than we occasionally realize.

If you look back at your family history, you will see that you are doing things that your mother is doing and that you used to do with your father.

"If drinking isn't the problem, perhaps womanizing is. That's what you're doing. It's a bomb for a generation, he said. In a submission for JoyNews' hotline documentary "Creative Addictions," Kesse—who previously admitted to being dependent on alcohol and shisha—said that the impacts of drugs on users are unfathomable.

It will have a significant financial and emotional impact on you. Emotionally, you need something to cover you to remove the shyness you sometimes feel when you step on stage due to anxiety and the sight of the audience.

However, you would say something that you would subsequently regret at the end of the day," he stated. Following his victory in the fourth season of TV3's Mentor, Kesse rose to fame.

He also competed in Project Fame West Africa's second season, finishing first runner-up behind Chidinma.

He transitioned to gospel music following a prosperous career as a secular singer, and since then, he has released hits including Mehu Yesu, Sweet Jesus, and Amazing Love.
