Olamide Swaps Amala for Broccoli, Opens Up on His Healthier Lifestyle
Nigerian rap superstar Olamide has made a surprising revelation: he’s traded in his beloved amala for broccoli and other lighter dishes. In a candid sit‑down with content creator Korty EO on the Flow With Korty series, the YBNL boss shared why he shifted away from heavy Nigerian dishes toward cleaner, more comfortable eating.
When asked what his favorite food is, Olamide laughed and said:
“Food? I’m not a big fan of food. But I can k*ll for broccoli.”
Korty echoed his disbelief—“Broccoli?”, and Olamide doubled down, describing his meals as “light stuff.” Among his go‑to options now are sea bass, lamb chops, and even caviar.
He also admitted that although he once enjoyed traditional meals like amala, he now avoids them because they leave him feeling bloated:
“Those things, man… you’ll be like bloated all day. All because I want to chop? Nah. I need to be comfortable.”
Curtly embracing the label of a “healthy guy,” Olamide expressed pride in choosing wellness and comfort via cleaner eating habits.
Naturally, fans quickly filled social media to react to his dietary pivot. Response ranged from support to skepticism:
Some applauded his wellness focus, saying that health is important and praising his trim physique: “He looks really good and trim these days…”
Others argued against dismissing Nigerian dishes outright: “Amala is light shaaa… nobody has ever experienced bloating from amala.”
A few sounded a word of caution, urging moderation and respect for cultural foods: “Oyinbo people will make you demonise your food… there is absolutely nothing wrong with our food. Moderation is important.”
Olamide’s commentary may be lighthearted, but it underscores a broader conversation, as fans debate tradition versus modern health choices, his decision highlights the balance some strive to find between cultural cuisine and personal well‑being.
