Afrobeats sensation Omah Lay recently opened up about a challenging experience in his music career. During an interview on the Zach Sang Show, the 27-year-old singer revealed that an artist he once trusted took advantage of a unique concept he had developed, using it for their own album.
Stanley Omah Didia, better known as Omah Lay, first gained recognition with his debut EP Get Layd in 2020. His signature fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, and soul has made him one of the most promising stars in the African music scene. However, his journey hasn't been without obstacles.
Omah Lay recounted how he initially shared his innovative sound concept with an unnamed musician, hoping to collaborate. Unfortunately, the artist released an album using the very sound Omah Lay had intended for his own project. This unexpected move forced him to rethink and rework his album from scratch.
"I was going to create the entire album with this new sound,"
Omah Lay explained.
"But after what happened, I decided to change direction and start over."
Despite the setback, he remains optimistic, confident that his reimagined work will leave a lasting impact on Afrobeats.
A key track that emerged from this experience is "Holy Ghost," which has become central to Omah Lay's refreshed sound. "I had to go back and remake my album," he emphasized, expressing his belief that the finished product will stand out in the Afrobeats genre.
As Omah Lay continues to navigate the complexities of the music industry, his resilience and creativity keep him at the forefront of the Afrobeats movement. Fans eagerly await his next release, confident that it will be nothing short of extraordinary.
