Redman has revealed that he went celibate for more than two years and speaks highly of abstaining from sex.
During an interview with Ambrosia For Heads, the rap legend said: “My girl and I broke up maybe three, four years ago. I was going through such a shit divorce that lasted seven years that played a role in why it took so long to drop Muddy Waters [Too]. I had so much on my plate.
“I actually fasted two years and a half — no fucking, no smoking. Straight two years and a half. It was the best thing I could have done in my life. It was the best thing.”
Redman admitted there were some challenges along the way, though.
“And believe me, I wanted to, I was fighting it, I was sweating,” he said. “I was in my house going crazy ’cause I live alone. I was constantly talking to myself. Me and God, just back and forth.
“But I made it and it was the best thing I could have done.”
He also talked about the benefits of practicing celibacy: “It cleared out so much distraction. My reception is much clearer now. Having no sex is nothing to me now because it was all feeding the flesh.
“Once I did that, I was able to control how I moved, what I like, what is not good for me.”
Redman is not the only rapper to experiment with celibacy.
GloRilla attempted the practice in 2024 but quickly struggled, writing on social media: “Started my 90 day celibacy lil shit for new year’s or wtv, I’m on da 9th day & my vision blurry af !!!!! Send help.”
R&B star Omarion also recently discussed going three years without sex to focus on his faith.
He said on the Know Thyself podcast: “I kinda took it on as a challenge … When I decided to become celibate, it was because I was really just searching for something more for myself.
“At the time, I was practicing Christianity. I was really studying my Bible and ultimately it wasn’t for me, but it allowed me to kinda step out of this world and have the responsibility of being a sex symbol and a young adult.”
best thing about Muddy Waters too is there’s nothing recycled from the 90s on it but the whole CD has that vibe. didn’t hear one lazy sample or weak loop in 90 minutes! ridiculous. And no fake “art” bullshit just the real deal. That’s why seems like it’s a secret that’s it’s out. Rather burn down LA that see Jersey mans get paid

@Scarfy’s mom lmao you can’t even make this shit up. Bro needs serious help.
I didn’t bother to read this story but i think it’s very sad that he was doing the nofap thing for two years and went straight back to beating his meat watching internet pron. That’s some low energy shit right there 🤦🏽👎🏽
