In his struggle with depression, popular Nigerian singer Stanley Omah Didia, well known by his stage as Omah Lay, admitted that he had thought about killing himself.
The ‘Soso’ singer said this in a recent interview with H Steph when discussing his difficulties with mental health and how he puts his battle with depression into his music.
Omah Lay said he was in a really bad place at the time and considered committing suicide to end his suffering once and far all.
He, however, stated that it was imperative for him to go through that dark stage so he can help other depressed people overcome depression.
The 25-year-old singer 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.
