Veteran Ghanaian Hiplife musician Reggie Rockstone has disclosed that he stopped smoking due to his asthma health condition.

In an interview on Joy FM on May 2, 2026, the rap legend explained that giving up smoking is part of several health and lifestyle adjustments he has embraced as he gets older.

He said although he experimented with smoking and drinking in his younger days, he later made a conscious decision to change his habits.

Responding to whether he had ever smoked, he said, “I have done everything. I never did hard drugs which I thank God because I have a very addictive personality, so I am blessed in that sense so yeah, with the ganja, I tried all of that before.”

“At this point, being that I am asthmatic, so I got no business smoking again. My father was heavy asthmatic, my son has asthma, so I had no business smoking anyway,” he further stated.

Rockstone also touched on how his diet and overall lifestyle have evolved over time.

“Lately, I have specific food I eat. As I grew older I have become wiser. I had to make some drastic lifestyle changes. Because I came up and show business and we moved around eating all sort of things. But I was blessed to have cut out red meat early. I think I ate pork in my teens.

“Nobody asked me to stop eating it. I stopped on my own. I have always drunk a lot of water because my father said so, I have always ate fruits,” he noted.

Reggie Rockstone further mentioned that he enjoys fruits like watermelon and pawpaw and now maintains a consistent workout routine.

He added that he no longer consumes red meat, alcohol, or processed sugar as part of his healthier lifestyle choices.
