“All my friends abandoned me” Jimwat recounts bitter betrayal when alcoholism reduced him to a zombie

Jimwat struggled with alcohol addiction for years before he finally managed to stay sober. The ‘Under 18’ hit maker speaks of betrayal of friends he used to guzzle liquor with.

The rapper opened up about his ordeals during an interview with Word Is. He reveals that he was almost drinking to his own death.

Jimwat says that he used to spend more time at the bar than at his place. He further discloses that at times he would sleep on the bar counter.

“I used to spend more time in the bar than at my place. At times, I never even used to go home, since I would sleep on the bar counter. It was that bad,” said Jimwat.

Fake friends

Jimwats recounts how he was surrounded with fake friends when he was still the don. He says all of his friends disappeared and refused to pick his calls when things went south.

“I used to smile but deep down I was suffering, and that’s when I realised I did not have real friends around me, I had fake friends. I had 1,000 friends before things went south. They all disappeared and ignored my phone calls. Soon as they start seeing my posters as I try to make a comeback, they have now started crawling back,” Jimwat narrated.
