Daddy Owen admits to being depressed, seeks help

Daddy Owen.

Award-winning gospel singer Owen Mwatia better known as Daddy Owen, has admitted to suffering from depression. Opening up during a recent interview with Citizen TV's Wahiga Mwaura, the Vanity singer revealed that he has been battling depression in silence for a while now for fear of being labelled weak by society.

When his condition worsened, Daddy Owen explained that he had to push himself to openly talk about what he was going through to help ease the burden he felt at the time. Even then, he admits to being labelled weak but brushed it off as his desire to find peace within himself outweighed his care for trolls.
