Nigerian singer Omah Lay has claimed that a colleague with whom he shared the idea for his upcoming album has stolen the idea and used it to create his record.

He added that he discussed the idea with the unnamed colleague because they intended to collaborate, but the musician went on to make an album based on the idea he shared with him.

Omah Lay told the Zach Sang Show that the experience prompted him to re-record his album.

“My song ‘Holy Ghost’ is a new sound. I was going to make the whole album with the new sound but along the line, I changed my mind,” he said.

“I shared an idea with a certain artiste and the artiste went ahead and put out an album with my idea and I had to re-record my album.

“He came to me and I accepted for us to collaborate. Of course, he is an artiste that I love. And I told him where I was headed with the sound. Five months later, he put out an album with exactly the same sound that I shared with him.

“I had to go back and remake my album which is actually going to be the greatest album of all times in Afrobeats history.”
