Why Olamide No Longer Eats Amala or Heavy Nigerian Meals
Famous Nigerian rapper Olamide has revealed that he no longer eats Amala or other heavy Nigerian meals. This surprising news came during an interview with YouTuber Korty EO, released on Sunday, August 3.
Olamide, who is also known as Baddo and is the boss of the YBNL music label, said he now prefers lighter and healthier food. In the interview, he shared that he enjoys meals like broccoli, sea bass, lamb chops, and even caviar.
When asked about his favorite food, the “Metaverse” singer said he’s not really someone who enjoys eating a lot, but he does love vegetables. He mentioned that broccoli is one of his best foods now, saying, “I’m not a big fan of food. I eat veggies. But I can kill for broccoli.”
He explained that traditional meals like Amala used to be part of his regular diet. However, he noticed they made him feel too heavy and tired afterward. This, he said, was not good for his lifestyle and busy music career.
Olamide said he now chooses food that makes him feel light and active. According to him, meals that sit too heavy in his stomach slow him down and affect his energy levels.
Many fans were surprised by this change, especially since Olamide has always been known as someone who proudly represents Nigerian culture. But his comments have sparked a wider conversation online about how important it is to choose meals that support good health and energy.
Some people praised his decision to switch to healthier meals, saying it shows how much he cares about his well-being and performance. Others joked about missing the “old Olamide” who probably enjoyed a full plate of Amala.
Still, it’s clear that Olamide is focused on staying fit and fresh. Whether it’s in the studio or on stage, he wants to give his best—and eating right is part of that journey.
This is one more example of how artists grow and change as they reach new stages in their careers. And for Olamide, eating better is just one way of taking care of himself while staying on top of his game.
