Popular Nigerian rapper Olamide, widely known as \u201cBadoo,\u201d has given reasons for his decision to stop eating amala and other heavy traditional dishes. <\/p>\n

The YBNL boss said in an interview with YouTuber Korty EO that the shift was brought about by his increased consciousness of fitness and health, particularly as he gets older.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t eat amala or heavy foods like before again. I had to slow down because I noticed they make me feel too heavy and sluggish, especially before performances or studio sessions,\u201d Olamide said.<\/p>\n

The rapper, who is known for his upbeat stage persona and consecutive singles, stated that dietary adjustments have enhanced his general way of life and productivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m more conscious of what I eat now. It\u2019s all part of growth. You can\u2019t be young forever,\u201d he added with a laugh.<\/p>\n

Although Olamide said that he isn\u2019t a huge foodie, he now favours lighter and healthier foods like caviar, sea bass, lamb chops, and veggies, particularly broccoli.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a big fan of food. \u201cI eat veggies. But I can kill for broccoli.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love broccoli, sea bass fish, lamb chops, and even caviar. Those are light meals. I don\u2019t eat Amala; it makes me full, \u201d he concluded. <\/p>\n
