Nigerian Afrobeats singer Omah Lay has spoken candidly about his continued struggle with smoking, revealing that repeated attempts to abandon the habit have not been successful.

The singer made the disclosure during a podcast conversation with DJ Dan, where he discussed his personal experience with smoking and his changing attitude towards quitting.

Omah Lay explained that he had made several efforts to stop but found himself unable to maintain the decision. 

After repeatedly struggling to break the habit, he said he has now accepted himself as a smoker instead of constantly putting pressure on himself to quit.

The “Soso” hitmaker also described the emotional effect smoking has on him. According to the singer, it provides what he considers a temporary form of happiness and gives him a feeling of rebellion because cannabis is prohibited in Nigeria.

Omah Lay said his decision to stop forcing himself to quit is partly influenced by his belief that life is short and death is inevitable. 

He questioned the point of repeatedly putting himself through the pressure of quitting when previous efforts had failed.

He explained that his current priority is to live peacefully and enjoy the things that make him happy. The singer was particularly open about his fondness for smoking, making it clear that his comments reflected his personal experience rather than an attempt to encourage others to adopt the habit.

His revelation has attracted attention from fans and generated discussions online, with many focusing on the singer's unusually frank comments about a habit that remains controversial.

The disclosure also offers insight into the challenges associated with breaking addictive habits. For people attempting to quit smoking, repeated setbacks can make the process difficult and emotionally exhausting.

 Omah Lay's experience demonstrates the personal conflict that can accompany attempts to change a long-standing behaviour.

Although the singer says he has chosen to accept his current situation, smoking carries established health risks. His comments therefore provide a personal account of his struggle rather than evidence that continuing the habit is harmless.

Omah Lay has built a strong reputation within Nigeria's contemporary music scene, and his willingness to discuss a private aspect of his lifestyle has added another dimension to his public persona.

For now, the singer appears comfortable with his decision not to keep forcing himself to quit, saying he would rather concentrate on living life according to his present choices.
