Prison writing led to Jub Jub gaining weight

-

RAPPER Molemo “Jub Jub” Maaronhany­e has spoken candidly about his dramatic weight gain‚ explaining that he spent most of his time in prison writing and not gyming.

The Ndikhokhel­e hitmaker spoke to YFM’s DJ Speedsta about the conditions he lived under in prison during an interview this week.

“Prison is everything you think it is and so much more. It’s a school of hard knocks and survival of the fittest. It’s not good‚” Jub Jub said.

He explained that prison had even robbed him of his physique.

“I went in a sexy guy and came out fat‚” Jub Jub joked about his weight gain.

He explained that the reason for this was because he spent all of his time writing music‚ and a book.

“I didn’t have time to gym because I was writing and writing and praying so much‚” he added.

He said that he was so dedicated to his writing projects that he ran out of pens.

Jub Jub told Metro FM last week that the book he had written was a “tell-all”, and that he also hoped to make a movie out of his life story.

“I don’t really like sharing my plans‚ but since you have asked‚ I had a lot of time to write and I have a book coming out‚” he told Bonang Matheba. — TMG
