Afrobeats musician Omah Lay has candidly shared his struggles within the music industry, revealing a profound sense of isolation despite having a supportive fan base, family, and team.
In an interview with Amazon Music, the "Boy Alone" singer confessed to living in a “fantasy world” 90 percent of the time to escape the harsh realities of his experiences.
He stated, “I have my fans, family, and team but I don't feel loved especially by the media and the people who call themselves the gatekeepers.”
Omah Lay's feelings of unlovedness are exacerbated by the treatment he receives from immigration officers while traveling with a Nigerian passport.
He noted that he frequently encounters mistreatment until they recognize him as a well-known artiste. “Travelling especially being a Nigerian and having the Nigerian passport, I have just seen the cruelty of the world so much,” he shared.
