Ace Nigerian artist Stanley Omah Didia, often known as Omah Lay, claims that his quick ascent to stardom has had an impact on his mental health.
Omah Lay made this statement during an interview with media personality Adesope Olajide on the Afrobeats Podcast, where he discussed his struggles with popularity.
The ‘Soso’ singer admitted that it was difficult at first, but he eventually became comfortable with the reality of popularity and began to proceed at his own pace.
The 26-year-old artiste said: “At first I struggled, and it put me in a bad mental state because I was still trying to learn my ways.
“However, with time, I got comfortable and learned that I should move at my own pace. As soon as I realised that, I became much stronger and began to enjoy my life more.
“If I can put my vulnerabilities in my song, then I can talk about them. My music is all about my real life experiences, and I know the world is listening to it.”
