Omah Lay Says He Is The Best Artist Of His Generation. His Generation Has Responded.

Now I want to be fair to Omah Lay. The man can sing. The man has songs. "Godly" alone has carried more situationships than Uber. I am not here to drag him. I am simply here to report what happened after he made this statement, because the response from his generation was not what any of us expected.

Omah Lay Says He Is The Best Artist Of His Generation. His Generation Has Responded.

In other news, Omah Lay says he is the best artist of his generation. His generation has responded.


Now I want to be fair to Omah Lay. The man can sing. The man has songs. "Godly" alone has carried more situationships than Uber. I am not here to drag him. I am simply here to report what happened after he made this statement, because the response from his generation was not what any of us expected.


(sips tea like Toke Makinwa)


Omah Lay sat down, looked into a camera with full confidence, and declared himself the best artist of his generation. No qualifications. No "in my opinion." No "with all due respect to my colleagues." Just, I am the best. Full stop. The energy of a man who has never paid a NEPA bill in his life.

Now. Our sources have confirmed that his generation, specifically Rema, Ayra Starr, Zinoleesky, and Bella Shmurda, held an emergency meeting after the statement was made.

The meeting lasted four hours.

At the end of it, they released a joint statement. The statement contained one sentence.

It said: "Who?"


(hisses like Patience Ozokwo)



Omah Lay has since clarified that by "his generation" he meant "the people in his house." Which currently includes his producer, his manager, and his cousin, who came to visit in January and has not left since.

In that category, sources confirm, he is indeed the best artist.


Edgar doesn't lie.


Source: The cousin. He said Omah Lay is very good, but that his WiFi password is too long and that is his only complaint.
