The hiatus gave Cannibal time to think about his future; the rapper decided to get saved after contemplating about it for a long time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason why I went silent is because I was contemplating getting saved. I have been fighting with my spirit for a while now. My spirit wanted to know God but at the same time, I wanted the worldly things. I even went ahead and wrote some gospel songs to be released next month. It is the best decision I have made. Don\u2019t expect to see me in clubs drinking. I am following what the Bible teaches,\u201d Cannibal told Heads Up.<\/p>\n
