“I Contemplated Suicide Several Times During Depression” – Omah Lay

The Port-Harcourt-born musician opened out about his struggle with depression and how he used the experience to inspire his music in an interview with H Steph.

According to Omah Lay, it was providential for him to experience depression so that he might assist those who are presently depressed.

But I feel like I have to be here to genuinely assist the individuals that are there at this time in leaving that location. To get there, then create music from it, and honestly discuss how I’m a mess, how I think, how I’m f*cked up, and everything will take a real person like me.

“I don’t think there are any afrobeats artists doing that right now,”
