I don't want to look older than my age - Nasty C on why he quit alcohol

South African rapper Nasty C has opened up about his struggle with alcohol addiction and his decision to quit drinking. In a recent interview with British‑Nigerian media personality Madame Joyce, the 28‑year‑old artist disclosed that he was consuming alcohol daily, often in studios, restaurants and even during performances. He explained that his high tolerance meant he was usually the last person to show signs of intoxication when drinking with friends, and that his consumption spanned whisky, cognac, tequila and rum.

Nasty C decided to give up alcohol because of concerns about its physical effects. In South Africa, the term “phuza face” describes the premature aging that can result from heavy drinking. He said he wanted to avoid looking ten years older than his actual age and to maintain a youthful appearance, while also steering clear of the long‑term health risks associated with alcohol abuse.

His decision marks a significant shift given his previous habits, and it underscores the broader risks of excessive drinking. As a public figure, Nasty C’s openness may raise awareness about alcohol addiction and encourage others to reassess their own drinking patterns. The rapper’s career, highlighted by hits such as “Send Me Away,” has been successful, and his willingness to discuss personal challenges demonstrates a commitment to honesty and transparency. This candidness could resonate with fans and inspire them to prioritize their health. As he continues to navigate his career and personal life, Nasty C’s choice to quit drinking is likely to have a positive impact on his overall well‑being and serves as a testament to the importance of making healthy lifestyle choices.
