“How My Sudden Fame Put Me In Bad Mental State” – Omah Lay

-



Nigerian musician, Stanley Omah Didia popularly known as Omah Lay, has narrated how his sudden fame affected his mental health.

The singer made this disclosure in his recent interview with media personality, Adesope Olajide, on Afrobeats Podcast.

Recounting his initial struggles with fame before getting used to it, Omah Lay 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 realized 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.”
