Nigerian artist Crown Uzama, also known as Shallipopi, has declared that he is now taking a "break" from smoking.

The 'Pluto Presido' singer made the announcement while uploading a video from his career on Snapchat lately.

He recommended his fellow smokers to take breaks from smoking on occasion.

He added, "No, don't smoke igbo every time you go. Take a break. I'm on a break currently. "I'm feeling good."

According to TalkTalk Nigeria, renowned Nigerian celebrities such as Tonto Dikeh, Don Jazzy, Terry G, Faze, Dr Sid, and Kizz Daniel have previously proclaimed their decision to quit smoking.

However, several of them later reversed their decision, with Terry G and Kizz Daniel announcing on their individual social media profiles that they have resumed the practice.
