The moment you have peace; you can discuss anything with anyone with a lot of confidence because you know you have peace. But when you don’t have peace, you can’t sleep, eat, think straight or be stable even in your marriage, office or in anything you are doing" said Owen.

The Vanity Hit-maker also confessed that it reached appoint where he became so desperate.

“I was looking for peace, looking to talk to someone who could understand what I was going through…and it reached a point where I became so desperate and that’s the worst thing because people now look at you as a weak person.

…I used to wake up in the morning and I don’t feel like doing anything and started looking at myself as I am not important anymore from family to the public general. But the moment I started talking about it I became stronger, my healing process started and that’s how I came out of it. And as a man out there, talk to someone, it worked for me and it can work for you too" noted Daddy Owen.
