Omah Lay, the Nigerian singer, has shared cryptic posts on social media, hinting at his struggle with depression.
In a series of post via Snapchat on Monday, the ‘Soso’ hitmaker expressed his frustration, lashing out at contracts, record labels, and the music business.
He added that even his younger self and “everything” were not spared from his outburst.
“F*ck contracts, f*ck labels, f*ck the music business, f*ck my younger self, f*ck f*ck f*ck everything, f*ck,” the post reads.
Omah Lay admitted to a personal struggle, saying he is “losing my mind again”. He also pleaded for divine intervention.
“God please help I’m losing my mind again,” he added.
He was also captured in a smoke-filled setting, declaring that “life is good, God is greater than me”.
The post has stirred widespread concern on social media about the singer’s mental health, with some users suggesting it could be a publicity stunt for his upcoming album, given his reputation for intense, depression-themed music.
In 2022, Omah Lay revealed how he battled with depression while recording ‘Boy Alone’, his debut album.
In June 2025, his manager Muyiwa Awoniyi also announced the end of his professional relationship with the singer.
Born Stanley Omah Didia, Omah Lay started his music career at the age of 15.
He got shot into the limelight in 2020 following the release of his two hit singles ‘You’ and ‘Bad Influence’.
The singer has continued to make a name for himself in the Nigerian music industry, especially with his unique music style.
