“10 Million Can Heal Me for a Month” — Omah Lay Gets Real About Depression and the Price of Peace
Nigerian singer Omah Lay has once again pulled back the curtain on the internal battles many celebrities silently face — this time, with an unapologetically honest tweet.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, the “Soso” crooner wrote:
“10M in pounds or dollars right now will heal me for at least a month.”
The tweet, though wrapped in a tone of sarcasm and satire, carries a heavy truth — money might ease the pain, but it can’t cure the root of it.
💭 OPINION: When Wealth Isn’t Enough
Omah Lay has never shied away from speaking on mental health. From his emotionally raw lyrics to past confessions about battling depression, he continues to use his platform to shine a light on a topic that many still struggle to discuss — especially in the African music space.
His recent post may sound playful to some, but it’s layered. It hints at how external comfort (like money) might offer temporary relief, but not lasting healing. It also opens up a deeper conversation about how society often underestimates the mental toll fame, pressure, and expectations take on artists.
Many fans responded with concern, empathy, and support — a testament to how Omah Lay’s vulnerability resonates far beyond just his music.
