Nigerian singer Omah Lay has accused a fellow artist of stealing his music concept. During an interview on the Zach Sang Show, Omah Lay revealed that he had shared his idea for a new album with a colleague, intending to collaborate. However, the unnamed artist allegedly used the concept for their own album, forcing Omah Lay to re-record his work.
Omah Lay mentioned that his song "Holy Ghost" was part of a new sound he planned to use for his entire album. He initially discussed this direction with the colleague, who later released an album featuring the same sound he had described. Despite the setback, Omah Lay re-recorded his album, confident that it would become a historic work in Afrobeats.
