The reigning VGMA Artiste of the Year, Dennis Nana Dwamena better known as\u00a0KiDi\u00a0has opened up about his health, life and loss in\u00a0a new single titled \u201cNot Ok.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The powerful reflection on what he\u2019s been through in the past few months touches on themes that are sure to resonate with listeners.<\/p>\n

In the track, the singer-songwriter gets personal as he opens up about his own struggles and battles rumours that he was down with a stroke during his hiatus.<\/p>\n

The track begins with a sombre string melody before KiDi sighs and enters with his soulful vocals, singing about the difficulties of dealing with health issues and life<\/p>\n

The first verse features the poignant line, \u201cIf I tell you say I\u2019m okay the I lied, Everything I feel in my heart and soul, Oh as you see me so I\u2019m smiling but I\u2019m dead inside\u201d a sentiment that is sure to strike a chord with anyone who has ever struggled with their mental health.<\/p>\n

Throughout the song, KiDi explores the idea that life is precious and fragile and that we should be kind to people especially when we don\u2019t know what they are going through.<\/p>\n

He sings about the issues of his liver and struggling with depression and staying indoors,\u00a0offering a raw and emotional portrayal of grief.<\/p>\n

The song\u2019s release is particularly timely, as\u00a0he announced his comeback a week ago with a video of him in good health and drinking from a cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cA little under two months ago, I made the painful decision of cancelling my tour to take care of my health that included taking time off social media. In that time, I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love from family, friends, fans and the brands i work with. You all made me feel incredibly loved in this difficult period and I cant appreciate you enough,\u201d he posted<\/p>\n

Many people around the world continue to struggle with anxiety, depression, and grief, making \u00a0KiDi\u2019s \u201cNot Ok\u201d a critical and relevant addition to the musical landscape.<\/p>\n
