Omah Lay Speaks on Smoking, Marijuana Use and His Lifestyle

Nigerian singer Omah Lay has opened up about his smoking habit, revealing that he has previously tried to quit but struggled to maintain the decision. The singer made the disclosure during a recent interview on the Zach Sang Show, where he discussed his relationship with smoking and why he no longer puts himself under pressure to stop. Omah Lay said he had made deliberate attempts to quit smoking but was unable to sustain them. He explained that he has since adopted a different approach to the habit and believes people should be able to live without constantly battling themselves over personal choices. The ‘Godly’ singer also spoke about marijuana use and its legal status in Nigeria. He said young people who smoke can feel criminalised because marijuana remains illegal in the country. Omah Lay described the feeling associated with smoking as temporary and referred to it as “artificial happiness”, acknowledging that the effect does not last permanently. He said his outlook on life has influenced the way he views the habit, noting that everyone eventually dies and that he wants to live his life without constantly putting himself under pressure. The singer also said he wants to accept his current lifestyle and enjoy the things he has while acknowledging the choices he has made. His comments have renewed public discussion around smoking, marijuana use and the challenges some people face when attempting to quit. While Omah Lay spoke about his personal experience, health experts generally warn that smoking and marijuana use can carry health risks, and people struggling with substance use can benefit from professional support rather than attempting to manage the problem alone.
