Nigerian singer Stanley Omah Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has made a startling revelation about his ongoing battle with depression, suggesting that a significant financial windfall could provide temporary relief from his mental health struggles.
In a candid post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, the "Soso" hitmaker claimed that "10M in pounds or dollars right now will heal me for at least a month." This statement has sparked conversations about the relationship between financial stability and mental wellbeing among his fans and followers.
Ongoing Struggle With Depression
Omah Lay has been open about his struggles with chronic depression in the past. The singer has previously revealed that his mental health challenges nearly took his life, making his recent statement particularly poignant for fans who have followed his journey.
His debut album, "Boy Alone," released on July 15, 2022, notably featured soulful renditions detailing his experiences with depression. In a concerning revelation shortly after the album's release, Omah Lay shared that his depression worsened after he had a sexual affair with his therapist.
Looking Toward Healing
The singer has hinted that his upcoming sophomore album, "Clarity of Mind," will focus on his healing journey from depression. This suggests that despite his struggles, Omah Lay is actively working toward mental wellness and using his music as a therapeutic outlet.
Mental health awareness has been gaining traction in Nigeria's entertainment industry, with several artists becoming more vocal about their personal struggles. Omah Lay's openness contributes to destigmatizing conversations around depression and other mental health conditions in the Nigerian context.
The singer's recent car accident involving his Tesla truck, which was reported earlier, adds another layer of concern for fans worried about his wellbeing.
