Nigerian rapper Lil Kesh has opened up about his ongoing battle with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in a recent video shared online. In a rare and heartfelt moment, the music star revealed that while he doesn’t like to let ADHD define him, it is something he has been living with and managing for years.
Breaking the Silence on Mental Health
Mental health is often a taboo subject in African societies, especially among men and public figures. Lil Kesh’s decision to speak up sheds light on the internal battles that many people, including celebrities, face silently. “I don’t like to identify as ADHD,” he said, “but I have ADHD.” His statement has sparked conversation about the importance of mental health awareness and breaking harmful stigmas.
What Is ADHD?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects focus, attention, and self-control. It’s commonly diagnosed in children but can continue into adulthood. People with ADHD often face challenges in organizing tasks, following instructions, and managing time—factors that can deeply affect personal and professional life.
Lil Kesh’s Courage Praised by Fans
Fans have responded with overwhelming support, applauding the artist for his honesty and vulnerability. Many praised him for destigmatizing mental health and using his platform to bring attention to an issue that is often misunderstood or ignored.
A Growing Movement in Nigerian Entertainment
Lil Kesh now joins the growing list of Nigerian celebrities who are choosing to speak out about their mental health struggles. Artists like Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, and others have in recent years opened up about emotional wellbeing, encouraging others to seek help and not suffer in silence.
Encouraging Others to Seek Help
By sharing his experience, Lil Kesh is encouraging fans and followers to take their mental health seriously. “You are not alone,” he seemed to say—not just through words but by leading by example. His message reminds everyone that it’s okay to seek help, talk about your feelings, and be honest about your struggles.
