Personal Struggles and Addictions
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:
“I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly you find—at the age of fifty, say—that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about.... It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
“There is a Restlessness springing from the consciousness of power not fully utilized, which must be present wherever there is unused power of whatever kind. This is the restlessness of the germ within the seed, struggling upward and downward towards its proper life. ... it is a striving full of pain, the cutting of tender flesh by the fetters of the captive as he struggles against their pitilessness.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
