Talent manager Muyiwa Awoniyi has publicly declared the end of his professional relationship with Nigerian Afrobeat star Omah Lay, citing personal and professional reasons for the split.
In a series of posts on his X handle, Awoniyi announced, “With love and respect, I am no longer managing @Omah_Lay. That’s my brother, and I wish him all the best in his endeavours for life!” The statement marked the conclusion of years of collaboration with the singer, whose real name is Stanley Omah Didia.
Awoniyi also alluded to a controversial motive behind his tenure, stating, “I agreed to manage Omah to get him out of the very slave deal that you signed. Now he is out, I also am out. You, on the other hand, are a slave.” He did not specify the individual or entity targeted in his remark.
The announcement triggered a sharp response from singer Kaestyle, who commented, “Dem sack you, you say ‘I’m no longer…’ lol, always quick to go on social media.” Omah Lay, however, expressed gratitude, describing Awoniyi as “the most intelligent nigga I’ve met so far in the game.” Awoniyi replied warmly, “Love you my brother. Clarity of mind is on the way now, finally!”
