Popular Nigerian singer Korede Bello has opened up about his conscious decision to steer clear of addictive lifestyles, including smoking weed.

In a candid conversation on the “Say My Piece” podcast, the 28-year-old artist shed light on his personal journey towards wellness.

Bello revealed that while he experimented with smoking weed in the past, he quickly realized it was not a healthy choice for him.

“I tried weed before but it’s not my thing. Very early on in my life, I mean not in my life like when I was a child, but it was just something that people did around me also and this is something about myself I have a very addictive personality so whatever I find pleasurable it can turn into an addiction,” he said.

The singer emphasized the importance of self-awareness in avoiding potentially harmful habits. “You have to know yourself well. It is very important because some people can indulge in some things and they would get out of it and some people would take that something and they are not there. You have to know yourself so you do not follow everybody.”

A significant factor that influenced Bello’s commitment to wellness was the impact of his father’s smoking habit. “My dad used to smoke a lot of cigarettes and as a child, he used to send me to get him cigarettes. I noticed something then, he used to cough a lot so I would ask him daddy why are you coughing? and he would tell me it was because of the cigarette. So if you do not wanna cough like me, do not smoke.”

Bello explained that this early lesson from his father left a lasting impression. “So very early on he already planted something in my mind that this is something unhealthy and I do not want to be the kind of person who does that so that was a good priming. Growing up I tried to be on the wellness spectrum, physical, mental and emotional.”
