“How I Masturbated 3 Times Daily For 2 Years”, Flavour (video)

Nigerian Afrobeats star Flavour has made a deeply personal confession, revealing that he once battled a self-pleasure addiction for roughly two years during an earlier period of his life. The singer made the disclosure during a TikTok live session with friends, speaking candidly about a struggle he described as both shameful and isolating.

According to him, the habit began after he lost his sexual innocence and subsequently lost touch with the woman involved.

Things took a turn when a friend exposed him to Mapouka dance videos from Congo, which Flavour said intensified the addiction significantly.

He recalled that the habit left him feeling ashamed and created distance in his relationships with friends at the time. In search of a solution, he confided in his mother’s pastor, who recommended a 21-day fast and prayer programme. The intervention appeared to work initially, but Flavour said the addiction returned not long after the fast ended.
