Nigerian rapper Phenom has opened up about how he ended up sleeping with about 200 women after suffering heartbreak
He spoke about this experience at a recent singles conference hosted by Harvesters International Christian Centre.
Phenom also talked about his journey to faith and his choice to stay celibate until marriage, revealing that he had contracted gonorrhoea eight times and was once afraid he might have HIV.
“It was one heartbreak actually that made me just go crazy. It happened and it was 200 girls in a year at the time. So I did that for like two years straight,” he said.
“It was so bad, I didn’t even have peace of mind. I felt like I had HIV, mehn. If I should sneeze, I’d be like, ‘Eh, abi I don go carry something?’ In two years, I had gonorrhoea eight times.”
He said the experience became so frequent that he could identify the symptoms himself.
“It was that bad but I met somebody that told me that, oh, for you to attain certain things, you need to let go of certain things,” he said.
Phenom also recounted how he became closer to God and abstained from sex for about 10 years before getting married.
“I got introduced to God, and I also went celibate for like 10 years before I got married,” he said.
“I got married this year and I didn’t have sex with my wife until our wedding night. I didn’t just change on that aspect, I changed in a lot of ways. I got closer to God, I saw without God you’re really nothing.”
