People Hate Davido Because He Comes From A Rich Home" - Omah Lay

 

In a recent interview, Nigerian singer Omah Lay opened up about his changed perception of fellow artist Davido, highlighting the underlying jealousy many feel towards Davido due to his affluent background. Omah Lay, whose real name is Stanley Omah Didia, shared his initial misconceptions and eventual realization about Davido's genuine character, shedding light on the complex dynamics within the Nigerian music industry.

"People hate Davido because he comes from a rich home," Omah Lay candidly stated. This sentiment, he explained, is rooted in envy and a misunderstanding of Davido's intentions and personality. The Afrobeat star, whose real name is David Adedeji Adeleke, is the son of Nigerian billionaire Adedeji Adeleke, a fact that has often overshadowed his musical achievements and earned him undue criticism from both the public and fellow artists.

Omah Lay confessed that he used to believe that Davido didn't like him. This assumption persisted until the release of his album "Boy Alone." Contrary to his expectations, Davido was the only Nigerian artist who actively supported and promoted the album on his platform, which boasts millions of followers. This unexpected act of kindness from Davido was a turning point for Omah Lay, leading him to reassess his views on the "Fall" hitmaker.

"I was shocked when I released my album 'Boy Alone,' and he was the only Nigerian artist who supported me by promoting the album on his platform," Omah Lay revealed. This support, he said, was a testament to Davido's selflessness and his willingness to help others, even those who might not initially deserve it. "Davido is a selfless person. He cares about everybody, even people who don’t deserve his support; he still supports them."

The admiration Omah Lay now holds for Davido extends beyond professional respect. He expressed his well-wishes for Davido's personal life, particularly his recent marriage to Chioma Rowland. "I wish him a good married life with his newly wedded wife, Chioma," Omah Lay said, highlighting the genuine goodwill he now feels towards the superstar.

Omah Lay's revelation underscores a broader issue within the entertainment industry: the tendency to judge and envy those who come from privileged backgrounds without acknowledging their individual efforts and generosity. Davido's consistent support for fellow artists, regardless of their standing, exemplifies a spirit of camaraderie that is often overlooked.

In a world where jealousy can cloud judgment, Omah Lay's change of heart serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing and appreciating the genuine kindness and support that individuals like Davido offer. This newfound respect between the two artists not only enriches their personal relationship but also sets a positive example for the music community at large.
