“I considered ending my life countless times” – Omah Lay narrates

Award-winning Afropop singer, Stanley Omah Didia, professionally known as Omah Lay, has revealed that he contemplated suicide during his depression.

The ‘Understand’ crooner opened up during a chat with H Steph about his mental health struggles and incorporating his battle with depression into his music.

Omah Lay said it was divine for him to go through depression as the experience served as a means for him to help those who are currently depressed.

The 25-year-old added that he will continue to make real music from his experience.

He said; “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.”
