Vanessa Mdee Opens Up About Quitting Alcohol & Finding Faith

Vanessa Mdee has shared a personal journey of transformation – leaving behind alcohol and finding peace through faith. After revealing her four years of sobriety, she took to TikTok to explain her reasons.

Mdee described a period of heavy drinking to cope with stress and depression in the demanding world of entertainment.

“I was a functional alcoholic,” she admitted, highlighting the outward success that masked an unhealthy reliance on alcohol. However, by 2018, her nightly dependence had become unmanageable.

A turning point came through faith.

“As I got closer to God, the Holy Spirit convicted me to stop drinking,” she shared. This spiritual guidance, coupled with a personal trauma, prompted her decision to quit alcohol for good.

Mdee, now residing in the U.S. with her fiancé Rotimi and their two children, has openly embraced Christianity. In a previous TikTok video, she declared accepting Christ as her savior her best decision ever.

“I was at my peak professionally, loved by fans, but deeply unhappy,” she recalled. “Something needed to change. I surrendered to God and found healing and peace.”

Mdee’s story speaks to the challenges of coping with pressure and the pursuit of true happiness beyond external validation. Her choice to share her journey candidly can inspire others facing similar struggles, offering hope and a message of faith-driven transformation.

Juma Jux reaction to Vanessa Mdee confirms he never moved on from her

Tanzanian Singer Juma Jux is broken hearted; and still cannot believe that the woman he once thought completed him is now another man’s husband. Actually in his case, I bet this is called Karma.

Well a while back before Vanessa Mdee moved on with Hollywood actor Rotimi; she had been in a relationship with Juma Jux – who for some reason May have felt like Prince Charming.

I mean, with all the money running in his family, swag, American height and women throwing themselves at him; I bet his ego was off the roof.

Rumor has it that before the break up, there was a lot of drama revolving around infidelity; and disrespect directed at Mdee. And yes, Juma somehow confirmed this after he quickly unveiled a new Asian woman; barely 3 months after his breakup with Ms Mdee.

The fate of Tanzania is now in the hands of Suluhu Hassan, the first ever female president in the country following the sudden death of John Pombe Magufuli. Most people have congratulated her for the achievement and have wrote positive messages about her. She was Magufuli’s vice president, which led to the direct entry of her into presidency.

Tanzanian musician and media personality Vanessa Mdee has taken to social media to also praise Suluhu for picking up where Magufuli left.

“The world laughed at me” Vanessa Mdee narrates how fans trolled her for referring to Rotimi as ‘future husband’

Vanessa Mdee did not have an easy time especially after ex Juma Jux left her for an Asian woman. Well, judging from how mean Tanzanian fans can be, let’s just say Vanessa went through what many would teen as hell on earth.

For some reason, ex Juma Jux did not want to tone done on the showing off; and till date many believe his ‘childish’ ways are the reason he lost a woman like Vanessa Mdee to Mr Rotimi.

However although she was mocked, judged by Jux’ friends and a few fans here and there; but Mdee continued to hold her head high until she finally got to meet Rotimi; and in 2 days she was sure that this was the man she was meant to be with.

Vanessa mdee

He who laughs last

Well after a year of dating and living together; Vanessa Mdee’s dream of getting married to Rotimi has finally come true as seen online. Well, the Nigerian-American singer cum actor finally popped the big question and of course Vanessa Mdee said yes.

Speaking about this, Vanessa has shared a long post talking about how fans laughed and mocked her for claiming Rotimi would marry her some day. She wrote;

 

The answer is YES!!!! ????

A year and a half ago the world laughed at me when I said I knew YOU were my husband only days after spending time with you. I didn’t blame them, after all it’s an uncommon and inexplicable feeling when you meet your soulmate. ( Also they’d met the Vee who had no plans to be married).

On my 30th birthday my plans for the years to come were so different from where we are now, but GOD laughs when we are making plans.Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for YOU, they are plans for good and not for disaster, to give YOU a future and a hope.
Honestly, my future was feeling bleak and I was losing hope in what I thought was a perfect plan.

The anointed one

According to Vanessa Mdee, Rotimi is the anointed man appointed by God to settle down with her. On the same post, Mdee went on to say;

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by God’s Favorite ???? (@vanessamdee)

And then I met YOU.

… YOU saved my life in ways only a man appointed and anointed by GOD could. There are no words to describe the power of surrendering to GOD and in this case to LOVE. GOD IS LOVE! I spent my whole life searching for joy and peace in things and places that couldn’t offer nothing but a temporary high. With your love I bask in abundance. For everything I did right GOD blessed me with YOU.

The answer is YES! YES TO my best friend, YES to my soulmate, YES to the love of my life. Over and over and over again in EVERY lifetime. How you located me in this time and loved me in ways only YOU could is a testament to GOD’s divine order of things and FAVOR and GRACE.

And suddenly it all makes sense.

So yeye aliandika blog post zamani akimzungumzia Ex-wake sio Rotimi akisema yakwamba alikuwa na mipango na yeye na vitu vingi. Alikuwa anajaribu Kuguza jamii na wanawake ambao wamepitia vitu vingi kama hivyo.

However things between Jux and his lady ended as fast as their relationship started. It is not known why the two parted way; but chances are that long distance was the main reason these two could not be together.

The last time we however saw Jux the guy was linked to Nairobi socialite Huddah; but I guess this relationship was based on business and this is why the two no longer hangout together!

Vanessa Mdee comes clean on her long battle with alcoholism

To many, Tanzanian songstress, Vanessa Hau Mdee has been a sweetheart. Her music has been a charm to our hearts, her voice has seen us get lost in the world of fantasy and her beauty has bewitched the hearts of many.

But unknown to masses, the bubbly personality has been battling alcoholism and depression for a long while now. Something she kept top secret before she could no longer bottle it in and it eventually exploded.

Sharing intimate details about her grueling journey with the addictive drink on her podcast, Deep Dive with Vanessa Mdee, the 32- year old confessed just how brutal alcohol addiction had made her life.

Tanzanian singer-songwriter, Vee Money

Alcohol addiction

Not able to make firm choices, not able to recognize herself anymore, because her life was just but the routine – anxiety, depression were the faces of her everyday life.

I became a person of horrible choices. I couldn´t recognize myself anymore because I woke up every day trying to just get by and I don´t want to just get by anymore. More than ever, I had moments of anxiety and moments of depression. I had moments of ¨I don´t know what to do next¨ because this pressure is unnatural for a human being. And what comes after that?

¨This may come as a shock to many because I hid it so well but I was depressed and an alcoholic,¨ she continued.

But in as much as it hurts, because that is what the truth does, she is no longer in the business of living a lie to her fans.

This is my truth and me letting you into this space because I don´t want to live a candy-coated life anymore. I became a robot and I have no desire to be a robot or be unhappy anymore, because that´s what I was, unhappy. Had moments of ¨we are enjoying this¨, I had moments of ¨this is fun¨, moments of ¨this is a beautiful day¨.

Australian-based Tanzanian musician, Vanessa Mdee

Yes, she lived that life, she was in that space before, she tolerated the lies and hypocrisy, but no more! On the same note, the TV beauty has called it quits in the world of music.

Why Vanessa Mdee feels the music industry is demonic!

Speaking during her podcast dubbed Dive Deep with Vanessa Mdee the former singer opened up revealing unknown things about herself. Well, for those of us of who did not know; turns out that the singer battled with depression a while back.

She however kept it a secret while battling it alone in silence. However after relocating to Atlanta where she resides with her boyfriend, Rotimi; she now says things on her side are slowly getting back to normal. Through her podcast, the lady opened up narrating;

Vanessa Mdee with her bae, Rotimi

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but my mission is to be a light. I know that I would probably disappoint a few people and that’s Okay, I know that my fans don’t wanna hear this but guess what am never be too far away from you, trust me.

Why she quit music

The former singer went on to add that the reason she quit making music is because she needed to choose life. According Ms dee she lost herself while doing music; and instead of pretending everything was fine, she has decided to advocate for honesty. Vanessa added;

The reason why I had to leave the industry is because I needed to choose my life, the music industry is demonic. People will tell you half-truth about what really goes on, and the truth is I just wanna be an advocate for honesty and beauty and being a sincere advocate for what facing your demons can do for You.

Vanessa mdee

For those wondering whether she will be releasing new music anytime soon; the lass made it known that her purpose on earth is to make music! However, having gone through so much, Mdee needed a break to help save herself from drowning in depression.

Now my fans are probably asking themselves right now; Are you gonna never sing again? Are we gonna never see you perform? Let me reiterate, I love music, I love to create, I love to perform, I’m a vessel, this is what I was brought on earth to be, but maybe I was a vessel to be here in this moment to have gone through everything that I have gone through so that I can tell you most honestly the truth about things you will never somewhere else.

Sad goodbyes! Vanessa Mdee announces her exit from the music industry (Details)

For majority of celebrities, they have been judged by the world based on their career, the image of them that the media has portrayed about them.

However, unlike what we see or hear from our TV screens and radio waves, a one-on-one conversation with a celebrity will completely change your perspective about them.

Most of them are actually friendly, warm, welcoming and pretty nice but until you meet them – you will always form perceptions about them, based on how the media introduced them to the world.

Tanzanian music sensation, Vanessa Mdee surprised many after announcing she was taking a music break following her 13 years of toiling hard as an artiste.

She quits

During her 29-minute talk on her podcast dubbed Deep Dive with Vanessa Mdee, the Atlanta-based singer-songwriter said she had had enough of hypocrisy in the music industry.

I don´t know who needs to hear this, but my mission is to be a light and I know that I would probably disappoint a few people and that´s okay. I know that my fans don´t wanna hear this but guess what, am never too far away from you, trust me.

Contrary to her values, the music industry is ´demonic´, she said. But for her, she rather quit and lead a life of honesty, beauty and be a source of light to people around the world.

The reason why I had to leave the industry is because I needed to choose my life, the music industry is demonic. People will tell you half-truth about what really goes on and the truth is I just wanna be an advocate for honesty and beauty and being a sincere advocate for what ´facing your demons can do do you´.

To her fans, she said it was time she bid the world of music goodbye because she has done what she needed to do and it is now time to be a light to the world.

Now my fans are probably asking themselves right now: Are you gonna never sing again? Are we never gonna see you perform? Let me reiterate, I love music, I love to create, I love to perform, I´m a vessel, this is what I was brought on earth to be.

But maybe I was a vessel to be here in this moment to have gone through so that I can tell you most honestly the truth about things you will never somewhere else.

The jam titled Haina Maana, which loosely translates to ‘it does not have any meaning’, has been ruling the airwaves since it was released a few hours ago and to be honest, we are also feeling it.

Basically, this track s about a lady who is in love with a certain guy but it’s like her partner does not really  appreciate her so she decides to throw in the towel because she does not see the point in them being together.

Haina Maana is really infectious. I’ve listened to it a couple of times since it came out and every time I play it, it’s like I’m hearing if for the very first time. Yup, it’s that good ladies and gentlemen.

Mimi Mars, who is Vanessa Mdee’s younger sister, has amazing vocals and I believe it is something that runs in their family since their other sister – Nancy Hebron – also has a lovely voice.

To add to that, she knows how to control her voice and as you are listening to her you kind of get the feeling like it’s a live performance and you are the only one in the audience.

Notably, Haina Maana is also well arranged which simply means that it flows smoothly. If you are the kind of people who love to master songs then believe yo me, you’ll learn the whole of it after listening twice or maybe thrice.

The beat and instrumentation on this jam are impeccable. Other than the fact that they make the song catchy, they’re also in tandem with Mimi Mars’ vibe, style and tempo.

Listen to Haina Maana below and tell us what you think.

Nyashinski, Vanessa Mdee and Fik Fameica release hot banger ‘Rush’ alongside Fully Focus (Video)

Popular mix master Michael Ndung’u, better known as DJ Fully Focus, has released a song with some of East Africa’s finest acts and it’s a big tune.

The song dubbed Rush features Nyashinski (Kenya), Vanessa Mdee (Tanzania), Fik Fameica (Uganda) and as such, it is not a surprise that it has been ruling the airwaves since it came out a few days ago.

After listening to this jam, perhaps you will agree with me that i’s such a beautiful composition. The artists who have been featured in it were well thought out since each of them brings something different to the table.

For instance, well all know that Nyashinski, whose real name is Nyamari Ongegu, has a good flow. He’s an artist who will leave you scratching your head because of his unique ability to play around with words.

On the other hand, Fik Fameica spices up this song because unlike Nyashinski and Vanessa Mdee, he is singing in his native language and maybe, just maybe he is the reason why this song is so infectious.

Fik Fameica

Vanessa Mdee has a beautiful voice, the kind that most people, including yours truly, would not mind listening to for a whole day and that’s not a secret.

The decision to include her in Rush was wise because she not only has a melodious voice but also because she brings some Bongo vibe in it.

Notably, the hook by Fully Focus was also impeccable. Believe you me, you will find yourself singing along to it after listening to this jam a couple of times.

I also loved the beat on this jam. It’s so catchy and I would not be surprised if I saw people dancing to it the next time I attend a party or go to a club.

Listen to Rush below and tell us what you think. Enjoy!
