Omah Lay Crowns Self Best Afrobeats Artiste In Last Two Decades 

Nigerian singer Stanley Omah Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has crowned himself the greatest Afrobeats artiste in the last two decades.

The 'Reason' crooner made the claim, during a recent episode of the Nando Leaks podcast, asserting his musical prowess amongst other Afrobeats stars.

He acknowledged that visuals is not his strength, due to his personality, however, artistically wise, no one comes close.

Omah Lay also mentioned Burna Boy as the only Afrobeats star that comes close to him in terms of talent, yet he still remains top.

He said: "I am the best in this sh*t, I dont wanna be bragging too much, I am the best when you put the whole Afrobeats category. I am not the strongest when it comes to visual maybe it due to my personality, I don’t know. But when it comes to the art of making music, I am the best in the last 20 years.

"The only person I sometimes put myself with is Burna Boy. Burna is talented. Apart from Burna, it is me, even with Burna too, it is just me. I feel some type of way when they put me with all these other artists in the same categories. No, don’t do that, I’m the greatest.”
