Omah Lay, the Afrobeats artist, has expressed that his peers from Nigeria and other nations are emulating his musical style.
He asserted that he has pioneered a new sound within the Afrobeats genre, which many of his contemporaries are now imitating.
In a recent interview with Billboard, Omah Lay remarked,“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 also voiced concerns regarding the influence of the South African genre, amapiano, on 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.
