Omah Lay Raises Concern Over Decline in Afrobeats Quality
Omah Lay has issued a warning about the future of Afrobeats.
The “Understand” hitmaker said the genre risks losing its essence as more artistes chase quick money instead of focusing on quality and creativity.
He noted that many musicians now treat music casually, without investing the time and effort needed to improve their sound.
According to Omah Lay, this shift is already affecting how Afrobeats connects with audiences, particularly outside Africa.
He expressed concern that the next generation may inherit these lower standards, making it harder to maintain the genre’s global impact.
While he acknowledged that Afrobeats continues to grow worldwide, he urged artistes to raise their standards and protect the culture through better music.
