Omah Lay Opens Up About Struggles and Feeling Unloved in the Music Industry

The Nigerian Music Star Speaks Candidly About Challenges with Media, Industry Insiders, and Traveling as a Nigerian Artist

Omah Lay, a rising star in the music industry, has recently shared his struggles with feeling unloved, particularly by the media and industry insiders. In an honest interview with Amazon Music, the artist revealed that he often retreats into a fantasy world to cope with these feelings.

“I have my fans, family, and team, but I don’t feel loved, especially by the media and the people that call themselves the gatekeepers,” Omah Lay confessed. “This is something I’ve never talked about. I’m that artist that lives in a fantasy world. I just live in my head 90 percent of the time.”

Omah Lay also discussed the challenges he faces as a Nigerian artist, particularly when traveling with a Nigerian passport. He shared his experiences of being mistreated by immigration officers, who change their behavior only after recognizing him as a well-known musician.

“Traveling, especially being a Nigerian and having the Nigerian passport, I have just seen the cruelty of the world so much,” he said. “The immigration officers often maltreat me once they see the Nigerian passport, until they realize that I’m Omah Lay—that’s when the treatment changes.”

Omah Lay’s candid revelations shed light on the emotional and professional challenges he faces, despite his growing success in the music industry.
