Omah Lay Opens Up About Feeling Unloved Despite Having Fans And Family
Afrobeats musician Omah Lay has spoken up about his difficulties in the music business, saying that he frequently feels underappreciated and despised by the public and the gatekeepers in the business.
He claimed that even if his family, team, and fans are all behind him, he still feels alone and cut off from the business.
He acknowledged, in an interview with Amazon Music, that he spent ninety percent of his time escaping the painful reality of his experiences by living in a “fantasy world.”
Omah Lay said: “I have my fans, family, and team but I don’t feel loved especially by the media and the people who call themselves the gatekeepers.
“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.”
Additionally, Omah Lay spoke about the challenges of being a Nigerian artist, particularly when travelling with a Nigerian passport.
“Travelling especially being a Nigerian and having a Nigerian passport, I have just seen the cruelty of the world so much
“The immigration officers often maltreat me once they see the Nigerian passport until they realise that I’m Omah Lay that’s when the treatment changes”, he added.
Life feels harder when you feel unloved by your family.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
