In an interview with MacG’s Podcast and Chill, Kelly Khumalo says that being a recovering drug addict she learned that she can’t operate on substances.
“You know what I’ve learned and been a recovering drug addict is that I can’t operate on substance. I’m the opposite – it (drugs) locks my energy and I can’t connect to the higher power because my gift (singing) is solely dependent on God so if I am not sober I can’t do it… I start doubting myself. I start singing off-tune, and I start singing the wrong notes,” shares Kelly Khumalo.
KELLY KHUMALO REMEMBERS HER FIRST LINE!
When she was asked if she remembers the day she did her first line, she said: “I remember… I mean how you can’t remember something that ruined your life. It stays with you. That day stays with you because you keep going back and say ‘I wish I had not done that, but anyway I am glad that I did because I would not be the woman that I am today. I would not be so strong in the things that I do and very focused on the things that I meant to be doing as an individual,” says Kelly Khumalo.

Kelly Khumalo says that if she knew her talent is from the higher power she would have not done drugs!
“I’m 6-years sober this year. I’ve had lows in my life, where it feels like today I am at the lowest part of my life and I could take a line but my question becomes ‘Do you wanna make them happy by taking drugs’ because the next headline would be Kelly relapses. Kelly relapse? No way, it’s not going to happen not in the million years,” says Kelly Khumalo.
