Singer , Ras Kimono has said that he was not reckless as a young man , even at the height of his fame .
In a recent chat with Sunday Scoop, he said , “ I have never smoked and I don ’ t drink alcohol .
I tell people I have been a vegetarian for 37 years .
Even when my friends were having sex with two girls at the same time in those days , I didn ’ t join them.
I have never done what these girls and boys call threesome despite being famous and I am sure there are other people who have never done that too.
“ When people attribute recklessness to youthful exuberance , I get worried because I once passed through that stage too.
I believe it is all about your upbringing . The fact that you are young doesn ’ t mean you should be wayward . ”
Speaking about his unwillingness to change his music to appeal to a younger audience , Kimono stated, “ I have been playing reggae music for years and I don ’ t plan to change my style or dilute it.
Those who want to listen will surely do .
The truth is that you can force a horse to the river , but you can ’ t force it to drink from it . We still have a lot of youths who know my value .
I don ’ t believe that all the youths are senseless .
“ I believe two million youths out of five million youths know the difference between good and bad .
If I had changed my style , I would probably not be here talking to you .
I am certain the media would have crucified me that I did it for the love of money . My brand of music has kept me alive and still makes me relevant . ”
However , the reggae exponent released some songs last year, which didn ’ t have much impact .
He says it is because they weren’ t accompanied with music videos. “ I plan to shoot videos this year.
Though people think CDs don ’ t sell again , I belong to the school of thought that believes that CDs must sell .
The Internet is still not available to everyone in the country, especially for people in the North .
Many people in the rural areas still prefer buying CDs , ” he said .
