Ghanaian music legend Pat Thomas has shared a memorable encounter where he smoked weed for the first time while visiting Nigerian musician, Fela Kuti.

In an interview with the media on July 25, 2023, Pat Thomas recalled his trip to Nigeria with his manager and close friend, Sunny, who had a strong connection with Fela Kuti.

He recounted, "I remember going to Fela's house in Nigeria with my friend Sunny, who managed me. Sunny was a very good friend of Fela, and during our visit to Nigeria, we went to Fela's club. The next day, he took me to his house, and that's when I came across this weed, which they call Fela goro."

"Fela saw me, and he took one joint and handed me one too. My manager encouraged me to give it a try, but I was hesitant as I feared the effects. Nevertheless, I wanted to impress Fela, so I decided to smoke. However, the moment I took a puff, I felt extremely dizzy and disoriented. It was quite overwhelming, and I felt like I was almost going mad," Pat Thomas revealed.
