By Fikayo Babalola

Korede Bello says he is prioritizing his wellness.

Eko Hot Blog reports that Nigerian singer Korede Bello has shared his transformative journey towards wellness, revealing the pivotal moments that have shaped his path to self-discovery and mindful living.

In a recent interview on the “Say My Piece” podcast hosted by actress Lolo, Bello revealed his cautious approach to substances due to his addictive personality.

He shared his experience of smoking marijuana in his youth and his subsequent decision to abstain from it, prioritizing his well-being and avoiding potential dependencies.

He says, “I tried weed before but it’s not my thing. Very early on in my life, I mean not in my life like when I was a child, but it was just something that people did around me also and this is something about myself.

“I have a very addictive personality so whatever I find pleasurable it can turn into an addiction.”

The singer underscored the value of self-knowledge and knowing one’s limits, emphasizing that understanding one’s own strengths and weaknesses is crucial to avoiding the pitfalls of harmful habits and addictive behaviors.

He further stated, “You have to know yourself well. It’s very important because some people can indulge in some things and they’d get out of it and some people would take that something and they’re not there.

“You have to know yourself so you don’t follow everybody,”

Bello also shared a personal experience, recounting how witnessing his father’s harmful smoking habit had a profound impact on him.

Additionally, he stressed his dedication to a comprehensive approach to wellness, one that integrates physical, mental, and emotional aspects, prioritizing overall health and well-being.

“My dad used to smoke a lot of cigarettes and as a child, he used to send me to get him cigarettes. I noticed something then, he used to cough a lot so I’d ask him ‘Daddy why are you coughing?’ and he’d tell me ‘It’s because of the cigarette.

“So if you don’t wanna cough like me, don’t smoke.’ So very on he already planted something in my mind that this is something unhealthy and I don’t want to be the kind of person who does that so that was a good priming.

“Growing up I tried to be on the wellness spectrum, physical mental and emotional,” the singer added.
