Nigerian music star Stanley Omah Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has stirred conversation online after stating that a large sum of money could help ease his battle with depression—at least temporarily.
In a post shared on Tuesday via his official X handle, the ‘Soso’ crooner wrote:
“10M in pounds or dollars right now will heal me for at least a month.”
The 26-year-old artist has previously been candid about his mental health struggles. In 2022, he revealed that he suffered chronic depression, a condition that nearly cost him his life. His debut album Boy Alone, released on July 15, 2022, offered fans a raw and emotional look into that difficult period, with themes of loneliness, anxiety, and heartbreak.
Omah Lay had also shocked fans when he disclosed that his depression worsened after a sexual relationship with his therapist—an admission he made on July 18, 2022, via X.
Now, as he hints at the release of his sophomore album Clarity of Mind, the singer appears set to explore his healing journey through music, continuing his tradition of using art as therapy and connection.
The post has sparked a mix of empathy and concern among fans, with many expressing support and urging the artist to seek proper emotional and psychological care.
