Nigerian singer Yemi Alade told interviewer Chude Jideonwo that she suffered depression after discovering she had mistakenly claimed to be 22 for three years when she was actually 25. The Afrobeat performer said she could not mentally process the age gap after calculating her birth year. The revelation about her true age affected her psychological well-being for several days.
The artist behind Knack Am described the period as mentally challenging but ultimately educational. She learned how personal denial can damage mental health through the experience. Alade spent years unaware of her correct age before recognizing the discrepancy between her stated and actual years.
