Yemi Alade Opens Up About Past Smoking Habit During University Days

Yemi Alade has opened up about briefly getting addicted to smoking during her university days before quitting for good.

In a recent interview with Chude, the singer said curiosity led her to try smoking, but it quickly became something she relied on before going to bed. “It worked out a bit too much. I started needing to smoke before I went to bed — I was getting addicted,” she said.

She explained that the secretive nature of the habit made her stop. “If I have to hide to do something, I won’t do it,” Yemi noted, adding that she eventually quit after realising how harmful it could be to her voice and health.

The “Johnny” crooner said the phase lasted less than a year and described herself as someone who sets strict rules and sticks to them.
