Pop singer Fergie has opened up about her addiction to drugs when she couldn't handle the transition from adorable child star to adult artiste.

The 'Boom Boom Pow' hitmaker found success with the girl group 'Wild Orchid' at the age of 17, but when the band tanked, Fergie turned to drugs for support, reported OK! magazine.

"I thought it would be disloyal if I left, but I wasn't happy any more with the music we were doing. I really internalised it and found my outlet in the underground club scene and the raves," the singer said.

The 34-year-old singer revealed that she started with ecstasy and moved on to crystal meth.

"It started with ecstasy. I loved ecstasy. Loved it, loved it. It was great at first," said Fergie.

"I had a blast but those things can only last for so long. I'm actually lucky that I hit it as hard as I did because it took me to a place where I knew I never wanted to do it again," she added.

Fergie also narrated an incident when she narrowly escaped with her life after her dealer pointed a gun to her head on a trip to East Los Angeles.

"Yeah, that was crazy. Don't mess with East LA. Thank the lord I'm here," said the singer who dropped her drug addiction ten years ago.
