Rapper Joey B has revealed that a serious asthma condition was the main reason he stepped away from the spotlight for years.
Speaking on 3Music TV, the rapper said he initially had no idea he was living with asthma and often mistook the symptoms for other illnesses.
“I didn’t know I had asthma. I used to feel weak and couldn’t breathe properly. I thought it was something else,” he said.
According to him, the condition became so severe that he had to slow down his music career and focus on his health.
Joey B disclosed that spending long hours in recording studios made things worse.
“What was triggering it was the studios. Every time I stayed there, it got worse,” he explained.
Despite the setback, the rapper said quitting music was never an option.
“Hell no. I just needed my strength back,” he said.
