Omah Lay opens up about feeling unloved

Talented music star Omah Lay shares his struggles in the music industry, opening up on feeling unloved.

The musician recently opened up on a sense of unlovedness he feels particularly from the media and industry insiders.

In a candid Amazon Music interview, Omah Lay confessed that to cope with this painful reality, he often escapes into a fantasy world.

He said …

“I have my fans, family and team but I don’t feel loved especially by the media and the people that 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 per cent of the time.”

Omah Lay further shared that being a Nigerian and traveling with a Nigerian passport presents additional challenges.

He added …

“Travelling especially being a Nigerian and having the 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.”
