Nigerian singer Stanley Omah Didia a.k.a Omah Lay said he would keep on dishing out his kind of songs, which Nigerian music fans have labeled ‘Afro-depression.”
Omah Lay said in an interview with The Beat FM, London, United Kingdom, that he would not be influenced by fans on the kind of songs he needs to dish out. His only desire is to make good danceable music.
“I just make my music how I want to make my music. I try as much as possible to stay away from titles and everything the world is trying to put on you. Because as my guy would always say, ‘When the smokes clear, then you see clearly.
“So when you identify with those things [titles and tags] it just… I just make my music, I don’t care what anybody wants to tag it to enjoy it as long as you enjoy the music. If you feel like it’s Afro-depression, I am okay with that as long as you enjoy the music. Some other people would dance to it.
“It’s art. That’s what I make and I just leave the world to enjoy how they want to enjoy it. The fans have their own opinions, I would never argue with that. If that’s how they enjoy it, that’s how they enjoy it.”
