In 2011, Scribe was interviewed on Campbell Live, describing how he became addicted to drugs, alcohol and gambling between 2005 to 2007 following poor sales of his second album, Rhyme Book. His addiction led to his family denying him access to money, to the point that he had to pawn off many of his platinum awards he won from his debut album.
In November 2011 Scribe was arrested in Wellington for disorder and released after being formally warned.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or struggles:
“The medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium—that is, of any extension of ourselves—result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“These were not men, they were battlefields. And over them, like the sky, arched their sense of harmony, their sense of beauty and rest against which their misery and their struggles were an offence, to which their misery and their struggles were the only approaches they could make, of which their misery and their struggles were an integral part.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
