Afrobeats star Oxlade has urged those battling mental health struggles to confide in loved ones and seek professional help.
Through a poignant message on his 𝕏 handle, he reinforced the power of vulnerability, noting that overcoming adversity begins with staying alive to share one’s journey.
He tackled the misconceptions around mental well-being, advocating for honest dialogues.
The musician cautioned against self-harm, emphasizing the irreversible pain it inflicts on family and friends.
Oxlade reassured listeners that hardships are fleeting and that reaching out is crucial, as only the living can heal and grow.
“Hey, I understand how crushing life can feel… Maybe you’ve kept it inside for too long… But remember—only by staying here can you rewrite your story. Speak up. Let someone in. Is this truly worth your life? Ending it isn’t bravery…
“Don’t leave those who cherish you with endless grief… Trust me, storms fade. Today’s pain won’t last. A recent loss shook me deeply—so please, hold on. I’m not strong enough to mourn another soul…”, he shared.
