 Why Afrobeats Star Omah Lay Gave Up on Trying to Quit Smoking


Popular Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Omah Stanley Didia, famously known as Omah Lay, has opened up about his decision to stop forcing himself to quit smoking. The “Soso” hitmaker shared his candid perspectives on his lifestyle choices during a recent guest appearance on a podcast hosted by DJ Dan.


The Battle with Quitting and Ultimate Acceptance


During the interview, Omah Lay admitted that his journey with smoking has been filled with multiple failed attempts to kick the habit. Despite putting pressure on himself to stop in the past, the singer revealed that he has now reached a point of absolute self-acceptance regarding his lifestyle.


Adopting a somewhat philosophical outlook on life and mortality, the singer questioned the necessity of forcing a lifestyle change when death is inevitable. “Honestly, life is just one. I am going to just die one day. We are all going to die one day. So what’s the essence of forcing myself to stop?” he expressed during the podcast.


Rebellion and ‘Artificial Happiness’


Beyond the struggle to quit, Omah Lay highlighted the psychological allure of his habit. Because cannabis remains illegal under Nigerian law, the singer explained that partaking in it fuels a sense of rebellion that he enjoys. He described the feeling of smoking as a source of “artificial happiness” that helps him navigate life on his own terms.


“I just want to be at peace and smoke my weed,” the singer stated, emphasizing his desire to live authentically without the burden of constant self-policing. “This is my life. I will just live it. I will enjoy every single thing that I have.”


Omah Lay’s raw and unfiltered honesty has sparked widespread conversations among fans and critics alike, shedding light on the complex relationship between artistic pressure, personal coping mechanisms, and public perception in the Afrobeats industry.
