The \u201cSoso\u201d hitmaker made this remark during a recent interview with American outlet, The Fader<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Omah Lay<\/a> further revealed that he once unfollowed Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy\u2014widely regarded as the Afrobeats \u201cBig 3\u201d\u2014because he was dissatisfied with the way they were influencing and shaping the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole Nigerian Afrobeats scene is very separated. It\u2019s like if you\u2019re with Davido, you\u2019re on one side; if you\u2019re with Wizkid, you\u2019re on the other.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBack in 2024, I actually unfollowed Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido. I felt like they started something with Afrobeats that we needed, but it was an old pattern,\u201d he stated.<\/em><\/p>\n

The music star claimed that Davido has \u201ca lot of haters\u201d because he is from a wealthy background.<\/p>\n

Omah Lay stated that the DMW boss has \u201cnothing to prove to anybody,\u201d adding that his \u201cdriving force\u201d makes him stand out.<\/p>\n
