Omah Lay, a Nigerian Afrobeats performer, described his first earthquake experience as frightening.
The earthquake struck while the singer was in Los Angeles, California, for an interview on the Zach Sang Show. During the broadcast, the artist discussed his career, upbringing in Nigeria, and creative process. The singer even admitted that a colleague stole his sound, forcing him to create a new one.
Omah Lay went on to discuss the Afrobeats music genre as a whole, as well as the impact of Fela Kuti.
He explained, “Afrobeats precisely is music; it’s elements of a lot of sounds, local and traditional sounds. If you’re talking about Afrobeats, you have to mention Fela Kuti and everything he stood for, and…”At that very moment, the interview was abruptly interrupted as the building began to shake, frightening both the host and Omah Lay.
The host was stunned, remarking, “Oh wow, that’s an earthquake. Oh wow. That’s a strong one.”
Omah Lay, who has spent his entire life in Nigeria, was taken aback: “That is so weird; I have never seen or witnessed an earthquake.”
“Usually you can’t feel them in this building because it’s so secure; that’s wild,” Zach explained.”That is crazy; something must have happened,” said the singer in astonishment, looking around the room. “It was scary; that was scary,” he added.
Zach replied, “It’s an earthquake, and you can still feel it rumbling. That was a big one.” He then checked in on the welfare of everyone in the studio, making sure that they were unharmed.
Despite his initial fear of the earthquake, Omah Lay remained calm and continued with the interview.
