Chilli M relapses: I don't know if I should kill myself

Radio veteran Chilli M is reportedly back on the bottle and feeling hopeless.

Chilli M confessed that he has hit the bottle again and does not know how to deal with it, he said in an interview with Sowetan.

"I am drinking again. I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should kill myself," he told the publication.

He hinted that his drinking habit, which he said is worse than before, was because of all the challenges he has faced this year.

The star, who is still dealing with the loss of his daughter after she was killed in a car accident late last year, was also fired from Ukhozi FM in July for allegedly accepting "certain enticements" in exchange for playlisting music."This year has been bad to me, things just got from bad to worse," Chilli M said.

"This year has been bad to me, things just got from bad to worse," Chilli M said.

Chilli M has had a long battle with alcoholism. Last year he told Ukhozi FM listeners that doctors said he would die if he didn't stop drinking.

The star sobered up and even became an ambassador for the Industry Association for Responsible Alcohol Use (ARA).

At the launch of the ARA, Chilli M revealed that his liver had been affected badly by his years of alcohol abuse and he would "not see the end of December".

"The doctor told me with certainty that 80% of my liver had been affected. There is an eight-year waiting period before one can get a liver transplant. It is such a sad case. My liver does not function normally anymore," the star was quoted in Sunday World as saying.
