Plan B Claims Drugs 'Helped Me Find My Way'

Plan B has claimed that his experience with drugs has helped shape him as a person.

The rapper-turned-singer said no longer takes narcotics, but that they used to act as a protective screen.

"Drugs helped me find my way, but if I took them again I'd be lost,” he told The Sun.

“I started when I was 15, so have had my fair share. It gets to the point where your body is used to it and needs more to feel high.

“I like who I am today finally and don't need them to hide behind."

As previously reported, Plan B has announced details of a huge UK tour, which is set to take place next year.

The jaunt includes a one-off performance at London's O2 Arena.
