Hanks Anuku debunks claims of doing drugs, smoking
Veteran Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has denied ever using hard drugs and confirmed that he has quit smoking cigarettes.
He made this statement in response to a viral video that falsely portrayed him as mentally unstable.
In 2022, a troubling video emerged online showing Hanks Anuku dressed in tattered clothes and seemingly talking to himself, sparking widespread speculation about his mental health.
In a conversation with content creator Lucky Udu, Anuku refuted these rumors, stressing that he does not partake in any activities that could harm his mental well-being.
In his words;
“I am not a mad man… Some people say I was on hard drugs. I don’t do hard drugs. Back in the days I used to smoke but not anymore,” he said.
“I never went into anything hard drugs. I have self control. There’s probably where I was depressed and had to have a little drink like beers or wine. That’s it. I don’t drink hard liquor. But I was just isolated because I never thought I would be betrayed by my own people. It hurt me so much.”
