Kem Reveals Drug Addiction!

Grammy-nominated singer Kem is best known for his classic R&B sound and love songs such as “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Why Would You Stay” and “Share My Life.”

CelebNMusic247.com got the drop via 4UMF.com that Kem, who is best known for his classic R&B sound and love songs such as “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Why Would You Stay” and “Share My Life.” was a drug addict and homeless citizen of Detroit.

Many of Kem’s fans might not be aware of some of the unbelievable obstacles he overcame to be where he is today.

Before independently releasing his 2003 album Kemistry, Kem was drug addicted and homeless for several years.

These days in midst of recording new music, Kem is committed to aiding the homeless and undeserved citizens of his hometown – Detroit.

Kem, who will be releasing his fourth album in September is hosting his annual event, Mack & Third, a free annual concert benefiting Detroit’s homeless population, August 24.

During an interview with TheGrio.com’s Chris Witherspoon at the 20th annual Essence Festival in New Orleans, Kem opened up about overcoming the odds of homelessness:

Kem said:

“I came to a place where I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.”

“I gave up on trying to do things my way and started to listen to some people who had better ideas about what I should be doing than I did. My faith is my foundation. I’ve had some difficult patches in my life, as we all do, and I think that when we are allowed to come through the other side of turmoil we have an opportunity and a privilege to talk about it and let people know about it, so that they too can overcome as well.”
