Pepenazi: A Journey of Deliverance from Alcohol, Drugs, and Smoking

Nigerian singer-turned-pastor, Opeyemi Gbenga Kayode, better known as Pepenazi, has shared his inspiring journey of transformation and how God delivered him from the grip of alcohol, illicit substances, and smoking.

Pepenazi revealed that he was introduced to these vices during his time in the secular music industry, where the common belief is that alcohol and illicit substances enhance creativity.

However, he now understands that this notion is a misconception.

In a video message shared on his Instagram page, the former secular artist spoke about the influence of the devil in promoting these harmful habits among artists.

He admitted that he fell into the trap, believing that alcohol and illicit substances were necessary for better performance in the studio and in romantic relationships.

Pepenazi’s transformation serves as a powerful testimony to the power of faith and the importance of seeking God’s guidance in one’s life.

His story also highlights the dangers of the entertainment industry’s glamorization of substance abuse and its impact on young artists.

As Pepenazi continues his journey as a pastor, his experience and message of deliverance can inspire others to seek help and overcome similar challenges.

By sharing his story, he hopes to break the misconceptions surrounding substance abuse and creativity, and encourage a healthier, more fulfilling path for artists in the music industry.
