Omah Lay once again speaking on the state of Nigerian music 🗣️ (Interview with Views France)
— "There's a thing that I fear for Afrobeats. Nigerian Music is drifting towards a place where Nigg*s are not putting so much effort in the art anymore, and that is hurting my culture. Nigg*s are just playing with music these days & not trying to improve the sound & the whole creativity around it"
"I like to always say that my music is Afrobeats. The whole story of trying to sell African music to the world has come a long way. It's not just Nigeria or Lagos, for me any African person who makes music, I'll call it Afrobeats"
— Omah Lay on his genre of music 🗣️
"My relationship with my fans in general is toxic. My fans want something but I never give them what they want, I give them what they need, and a lot of times they don't get it at first. They know me for a vibe, which is my last album, but as time goes on, I have to grow"

“Nigerian Music is drifting towards a place where Nigg*s are not putting so much efforts in the art anymore, Nigg*s are just playing with music these days & really not trying to improve the sound & the whole creativity around it. It is really dipping the audience & the new generation, that level of music is what they are growing to & they are even doing worse. I just wish we could strive to raise the bar a little more”
