Nairobi Diaries actress Pendo who doubles up as a singer recently held a candid interview opening up about her wild past.<\/p>\n

Well, for those who don\u2019t know – Pendo was the wild card of the reality show and like you\u2019ve seen in foreign reality shows, this lady brought all that drama to a local show.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The actress was not only entertaining fans with lavish lifestyle and scandals but also with fights as she was known to pick arguements left right and center. What however we didn\u2019t know is that the whole time she\u2019d been high on drugs that would bring this crazy side out.<\/p>\n

Pendo opens up about her addiction<\/h3>\n

During her interview, the singer who is currently pushing her latest music project was asked;<\/p>\n

\u00a0 You have been accused of using cocaine and being a member of LGBTQ is it true?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Pendo, she has always been straight unlike what many believe but all in all has nothing against the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Singer Pendo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have anything against the LGBTQ community but I\u2019m straight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The other bit about her addiction to cocaine, the lass admitted to having abused the drug but not for long. From what Pendo revealed is that the she was introduced to the drug by a friend and being curious – she tried it just to see what it felt like.<\/p>\n

About using cocaine, things happen in the industry and you try things. That person who said it probably just saw me trying and she decided to tell the world but she tried it as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However short the addiction was, Pendo says it drained her pockets so fast that she had to quit. She went on to add that unlike the hype it\u2019s given – cocaine to her is just an expensive and meaningless drug.<\/p>\n

I realised cocaine was not for me and I decided to stop. I was wasting money, it was an expensive and meaningless habit. It didn\u2019t add anything in my life or help my creativity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
