Nigerian Afrobeats singer Omah Lay has revealed that he has stopped forcing himself to quit smoking after several unsuccessful attempts to break the habit.
The “Soso” crooner made the disclosure during a recent podcast interview with DJ Dan, where he spoke candidly about his relationship with smoking and his decision to accept it as part of his lifestyle.
Omah Lay said he had repeatedly tried to quit but eventually concluded that he could not force himself to stop.
“I love smoking a lot. I tried to stop, I forced myself but I can’t. Honestly bro, life is just one. I am going to just die one day. We are all going to die one day,” he said.
The singer questioned the point of continuing to force himself to quit, saying he now wants to prioritise his peace and enjoyment of life.
“I just want to be at peace and smoke my weed,” he added.
Omah Lay also said the illegal status of cannabis in Nigeria contributes to what he described as an “artificial happiness” and a sense of rebellion.
“And the fact that it is illegal in Nigeria, it gives me artificial happiness and a sense of rebellion. This is it. This is my life. I will just live it. I will enjoy every single thing that I have,” he said.
