Oxlade sends powerful warning to netizens over mental health

Afrobeats singer Oxlade has spoken out against the stigma surrounding mental health, urging fans and social media users to seek help and speak to someone whenever life feels overwhelming.

The singer made the call in a message shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, emphasising the importance of staying alive and reaching out for support during difficult moments.

Oxlade encouraged people who are struggling emotionally not to bottle up their feelings, stressing that healing and survival are only possible when one is alive to share their story.

According to him, choosing to end one’s life would leave deep pain for loved ones, noting that family and friends would be deeply affected by such a loss.

He reassured his followers that no matter how intense challenges may seem, tough moments are temporary and help is always available. The singer also appealed especially to his close friends and fans, urging them not to give up, as he admitted he would find it difficult to cope with losing anyone close to him again.
