Nigerian singer Omah Lay has sent social media into a frenzy with a bold declaration about his place in the music world.
The Boy Alone crooner took to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday to proclaim himself as the greatest of his generation.
The Rivers State-born star didn’t mince words in the post, even though he left his claim open-ended without tying it strictly to music.
Still, given his growing influence in Afrobeats and soul-infused pop, many fans assumed he was speaking about his artistry.
In the tweet, the 28-year-old wrote: “HI GUYS! MY NAME IS OMAH LAY AND I AM THE GREATEST OF MY GENERATION, I DON’T HAVE PROOFS RIGHT NOW BUT THERE WILL BE A LOT IN THE FUTURE. THANKS. YOURS TRULY, BOY ALONE.”
Though he admitted the “proofs” of his greatness aren’t currently visible, he hinted that time would reveal the depth of his talent and influence.
The self-assurance in his words echoes the energy of a rising star fully aware of his journey—one defined by quiet ambition and unapologetic emotion.
Fans flooded the comments with mixed reactions—some applauding his confidence and vision, others challenging the claim or comparing him with contemporaries like Rema, Fireboy DML, and Joeboy.
