IN a recent interview on the Say My Piece podcast, Nigerian artist, Korede Bello, revealed that he has a very addictive personality, which led him to avoid things that could easily become an addiction. 
"I tried weed before, but it's not my thing. I have a very addictive personality, so whatever I find pleasurable can turn into an addiction," he said.
Bello emphasised the importance of self-awareness in avoiding harmful habits, stating, "You have to know yourself well. It's very important because some people can indulge in some things and 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 spoke about how witnessing his father's unhealthy smoking habit left a lasting impression on him.
"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 want to cough like me, don't smoke.' That was a good priming. Growing up, I tried to be on the wellness spectrum - physical, mental, and emotional," he explained.
