Nigerian entertainer Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has spoken candidly about his past experiences with drug use, describing it as a serious mistake during his younger years.
In an interview with Vanguard on April 11, 2026, the singer, songwriter, actor, and producer reflected on a period in his life when he experimented with cocaine. He clarified that he never used heroin but admitted that his involvement with drugs at the time was reckless.
According to him, a turning point came while he was in Boston, where he witnessed the damaging effects of cocaine on a close friend. That experience, he said, served as a wake-up call and ultimately pushed him to make a decisive change.
Oputa explained that seeing firsthand how destructive the drug could be made him reconsider his choices and priorities. “Getting into drugs was one of the most foolish things I did. When I started to see the bad side of what cocaine did to a friend of mine, I knew I had to run if I did not want to end like that. That was in Boston, Massachusetts,” he said.
He added that the experience gave him the clarity and determination to step away from drug use before it could derail his life. His reflections highlight the importance of awareness, personal responsibility, and knowing when to walk away from harmful behaviors.
