Omah Lay accuses Afrobeats artists of copying him
Afrobeats singer, Omah Lay has accused his colleagues from Nigeria and the rest of the world are copying his style of music.
According to the singer, many of his colleagues are now copying his sound of afrobeats which he started newly.
Speaking in a recent interview, Omah Lay said, “The artists coming out from Nigeria right now, not just Nigeria but afrobeats in general are taking a bit of my stuff, the stuff I started, everybody tryna copy something.“
The ‘Soso’ crooner also accused afrobeats poster stars of “watering” the genre down in a bid to appeal to foreign audiences to make more money.
He lamented the infiltration of the South African genre, amapiano into afrobeats clubs.
“I don’t think I am happy with what the pioneers of Afrobeats are doing right now. The front guys are watering it down by just chasing the bags.
“I can’t remember the last time I heard a proper Afrobeats Song. It’s now Amapiano in Afrobeats clubs, not a proper Afrobeats song,” he lamented.
