The rising prevalence of excessive smoking among young musicians has been harshly chastised by well-known Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, better known as Rudeboy of the P-Square team, in their music videos.

Rudeboy attacked young performers in an angry Instagram story for glamorizing smoking, particularly in video sessions when they are seen lighting up before the song even starts.

“Dear new acts, abeg, who tell una say una must smoke Igbo for camera during visuals?” he wrote. “20 seconds into the video, una don dey light up. Na your choice oh, but make sure you dey chop better food too.”

The seasoned performer raised concerns about the behavior’s justification, cautioning that it gives a false and unhealthy impression.

The hypocrisy of these artists spending tens of thousands on marijuana while finding it difficult to pay for even the most basic meals was further highlighted by Rudeboy.

“You appear ill.” You combat Indomie for ₦1,000 without an egg, but you smoke for about ₦50,000. When under pressure,” he continued.

People should know that smoking is harmful to health and can lead to serious diseases like lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory problems. Staying away from smoking is a positive choice that can help you live a healthier and longer life.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
