Yemi Alade has opened up about a difficult moment in her life when she slipped into depression after realizing she had been lying about her real age for years
Speaking in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the Afro-pop singer revealed that she spent three years claiming to be 22, only to later discover she was actually 25.
“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,” she recalled.
“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.”, she added.
Yemi said the realization hit her hard, leaving her emotionally shaken and prompting deep reflection about the pressures of fame and the unrealistic standards placed on public figures.
Her honesty about the experience has drawn attention to the mental and emotional challenges that often accompany celebrity life, especially in an industry obsessed with youth and image.
