How I survived mental health crisis — Kiddwaya recounts

Former Big Brother Naija Housemate, Kiddwaya has revealed what got him through, after battling mental health crisis some time ago.

The son of billionaire, Terry Waya, Kiddwaya revealed this during a live session with his fans on Instagram.

The BBNaija star opened up about struggling with his mental health at a point in time and what he had to do to overcome such a hurdle.

While highlighting the importance of music, he revealed that it was music that kept him afloat while facing the ordeal.

“Music is so important, music is actually what got me through my mental health stage. Every time I felt I was going through an episode, I listened to music.”

According to Kiddwaya, music is a healthy form of escapism as it helps one bridge the gap between being one’s conscious and subconscious self.

Kiddwaya also acknowledged American Rapper, J. Cole for being a major source of inspiration during his dark days.

“I am a J.cole fan, he is one of my favourite artistes, he is the kinda guy that I go to for inspiration.”

He, however, noted that his music catalogue expands beyond hip-hop as he shares an equal love for other kinds of music.
