Why I No Longer Eat Amala – Singer Olamide Opens Up
Nigerian music icon Olamide has revealed a surprising detail about his personal life, stating that he no longer eats amala, a traditional Yoruba delicacy once known to be one of his favorites. The YBNL boss made the revelation during a casual conversation, leaving fans both amused and curious.
Olamide, known for his deep connection to Yoruba culture and language in his music, shared that his decision to stop eating amala wasn’t due to health reasons or dietary restrictions—but a personal shift in taste and lifestyle. “I just lost interest. I used to love it, but these days, I don’t even think about it,” he said.
The statement quickly gained traction on social media, especially among fans who remember the rapper often referencing local Nigerian meals in his songs and interviews. Some jokingly asked if this meant he had truly ‘leveled up,’ while others were simply shocked that the street-certified rapper had fallen out of love with such a beloved local dish.
Olamide, who has remained consistent in his music career while evolving both artistically and personally, hinted that his lifestyle has changed over the years, and with it, his eating habits. Though he didn’t completely rule out ever tasting amala again, he emphasized that it’s no longer part of his regular meals.
The revelation has sparked fun debates online, with fans sharing their own food preferences and how they’ve changed over time. Still, for many, it’s another reminder that even the most iconic stars go through personal changes, no matter how deeply rooted they are in culture.
As Olamide continues to evolve as both an artist and individual, fans remain eager to see what other surprises the hitmaker may share next.
