Talking to content creators Baha admitted that he has been having challenges with gambling for a while and that he had started finding help from professionals. Baha went ahead to admit that indeed he was not in a good place and that is why he resulted to lying to people to get some money.
“I’m an actor by profession, I’m a young dad and I’ve been struggling with the underlying issue (gambling) for a while and I’m really willing to seek help. I found myself deep into gambling because of a series of bad decisions that piled up to a point where I feel that my finances were a bit crippled so I was trying to get fast money – which was pretty much gambling,” the actor said.
He went on to add that his wife Georgina has been supportive of him through the hardship.
“The finances were not necessarily for bills because my shawty (girlfriend) was helping out so the majority of it was now the elevation of getting from one place to the other – because of the pressure of society’s expectations because if it was basic needs, that was all sorted out. I was also managing on my own because basic needs were not things I was unable to hack. It was the luxuries in life that I was lacking and I had pressure to search for them.”
