Nigerian singer Stanley Omah Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has berated his colleagues for being lazy with Afrobeats.

The 'Understand' crooner, in a recent interview with ViewsFrance, said that Afrobeats is gradually declining due to the lack of efforts from his colleagues.

According to him, many singers are focused on making profit from music than actually trying to propagate the genre.

Omah Lay further called for his colleagues to put in more effort to improve music.

He said:
"Nigerian Music is drifting towards a place where artists are not putting so much efforts in the art anymore.

“And that is also hurting my culture. Most artists are just playing with music these days and really not trying to improve the sound and the whole creativity around it.

“It is just quick money and it is really dipping the audience and the new generation, that level of music is what they are growing to and they are even doing worse.

"I don’t want to blame the globalisation of Afrobeats for that but that could also be one of the reasons. Generally, it is a good that that Afrobeats to the world is happening and people are getting to know us from our music. But I just wish we could strive to raise the bar a little more with the craft.”
