Tanzanian legendary Bongo Flava Artist Khalid Mohamed popularly known as TID has for the longest time been adversely linked to the use of hard drugs when his career was at its peak.
TID is best known to his Kenyan fans for a slew of hits including ‘Siamini’, ‘Zeze’ among others.
T.I.D is looking to make a comeback after drugs took a toll on of his life and career. T.I.D is now a reformed drug addict and he wants to take music and make it his new addiction just like before.
Talking to MillardAyo.Com the Nyota Yangu hitmaker said he is done with drugs and not looking back.
“i’ve been through ups and down and at the end of the day i go back to the focus” T.I.D wrote.
Adding that ,”i will not go back to drugs again because it has costed me so much. but you know what, people think i wads born a tar but aim a human being i deserve happiness. i need to socialize. i will never go back to those stuff because its back. the society doesn’t like it.”
