Singer, Omah Stanley Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has expressed deep concern over the reduction in the quality of Nigerian music and Afrobeats in general, in recent years.

In a recent interview with ViewsFrance, the Soso hitmaker accused his colleagues of not putting effort into music-making anymore.

He alleged that a lot of artists are after quick money and fame and doesn’t care about musical depth or lyrical substance.

He explained that the trend is affecting Afrobeats and the African culture negatively, especially overseas.

The singer urged his colleagues to improve their craft and give the new generation quality music.

Omah Lay said, “Nigerian Music is drifting towards a place where artists are not putting so much efforts in the art anymore.

“And that is also hurting my culture. Most artists are just playing with music these days and really not trying to improve the sound and the whole creativity around it.

“It is just quick money and it is really dipping the audience and the new generation, that level of music is what they are growing to and they are even doing worse.

“I don’t want to blame the globalisation of Afrobeats for that but that could also be one of the reasons. Generally, it is a good that that Afrobeats to the world is happening and people are getting to know us from our music. But I just wish we could strive to raise the bar a little more with the craft.”
