Inside The Fallout: Muyiwa Awoniyi Reveals Truth Behind Omah Lay Breakup

Nigerian singer Omah Lay and his longtime manager, Muyiwa Awoniyi, have officially ended their professional relationship.

The announcement was made by Awoniyi in a tweet shared on Friday.

The talent manager confirmed that he is no longer handling Omah Lay’s career but emphasized that their friendship and mutual respect remain intact.

Following the statement, Omah Lay responded with a heartfelt message, appreciating Awoniyi’s contributions to his growth and expressing continued admiration for him.

While the exchange appeared amicable, rising artist Kaestyle threw shade on social media, implying that Awoniyi had been fired and was merely saving face with the public statement.

In a swift rebuttal, Awoniyi revealed that his managerial role was primarily to help Omah Lay exit an allegedly exploitative contract. He stated that Omah Lay now owns his masters and runs his affairs independently through his own imprint, Boy Alone.

Awoniyi reaffirmed his dedication to advocating for artists’ rights, writing:

“I took on Omah’s management to help free him from the slave deal you signed. He’s out now—and so am I. You, on the other hand, are still a slave. Those who know me know I’ve always stood for the artist. Omah is exceptional, and now that Boy Alone is a fully established entity, he can navigate his journey on his own terms. Best part? He now owns his masters. The delay now makes sense. Mission accomplished .”
