Omah Lay calls out colleague for stealing his album idea
Nigerian singer Omah Lay has alleged that a colleague he shared the idea of what was supposed to be his next album with, stole the idea to make his own album.
He stated that he shared the idea with the unnamed colleague because they wanted to collaborate but the artist went to release an album with the same idea he shared with him.
Speaking on the Zach Sang Show, Omah Lay said the incident made him re-record his album.
“My song ‘Holy Ghost’ is a new sound. I was going to make the whole album with the new sound but along the line, I changed my mind,” he said.
“I shared an idea with a certain artist and the artist went ahead and put out an album with my idea and I had to re-record my album.
“He came to me and I accepted for us to collaborate. Of course, it’s an artist that I love. And I told him where I’m headed with the sound. Five months later, he put out an album with exactly all the same sound that I shared with him.
“I had to go back and remake my album which is actually going to be the greatest album of all time in Afrobeats history.”
