Nigerian singer and songwriter, Omah Lay, has sparked widespread conversation after making a bold statement about his status in the music industry.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the “Soso” crooner wrote:
“Hi guys! My name is Omah Lay and I am the greatest of my generation. I don’t have proofs right now but there will be a lot in the future.
Thanks. Yours truly, Boy Alone.”
This isn’t the first time the Afrobeats star has spoken confidently about his artistic direction. In a 2023 interview with The Beat FM in London, Omah Lay expressed his desire to be seen as a frontrunner in the evolution of Afrobeats. He revealed that he had created what he described as a “new sound,” which he plans to introduce to a wider audience.
The singer, known for his emotionally resonant lyrics and genre-blending style, has continued to gain critical acclaim since his breakthrough in 2020. His statement is being seen by fans and critics alike as a declaration of intent to take his artistry to even greater heights.
