Headie One says January prison sentence was “a wake-up call”
Headie One has described his January prison sentence as a “wake-up call” in a new interview.The drill rapper – whose real name is Irving Adjei – was sentenced to six months in prison for carrying a knife, but was released in April after completing four months of his term.Speaking to the Guardian, Adjei reflected on his experiences with prison, saying returning to incarceration was “like going back in time”. “Those kinds of situations was my normality years ago,” he said.“It was a wake-up call that it really is a thin line – one wrong move and it’s all over, it’s back to what you used to dream to get out of.”The star also said achieving success and fame could “go wrong” for him because of past associates’ “jealousy”.
