Popular musician, Omah Lay has revealed that he had at one time in the past considered ending his life when he was going through depressiion.
The ‘so so’ singer opened up during an interview with H Steph while speaking on his mental health struggles and how he incorporates his condition into his songs.
Omah Lay claimed that it was providential for him to suffer depreession since it gave him the ability to support those who are going through it right now.
“I was at the verge of…I was suicidal, mahn. Trust me, I was really fcked up. But I think I have to be there to actually help the people who are there right now to get out of that place.
I mean it will take a real person like me to go there and then make music out of it and talk about it so openly how I’m a mess, how I think and how I’m fcked up and everything.
“I’m not sure you will find afrobeats artists who do that right now. Everybody is out there saying afrobeats are not so deep, ‘afrobeats are just vibes and sh*t’. Nah. That’s why everybody is just doing hype. The real music is dying,” he said.
