Nigerian Afrobeat singer, Yemi Alade, has opened up about how telling lies about her age led to depression.
In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, the singer confessed she has kept her age at 22 for the last three years.
The ‘Knack Am’ crooner said she fell into depression when she realised she was 25 years old because her mind could not take the reality of her age.
According to Yemi Alade, she faced mental challenges for three years due to not knowing her actual age.
She said, “There was a time someone asked me my age, and I kept saying for three years I was 22. Then I realised I was 25 years old. I took out my phone and I did the mathematics. I was depressed for a few days. My mind wasn’t taken into process.
“It was mental, for three years I didn’t know my right age.”
