Omah Lay added that while he may not rank highest when it comes to visuals, he is confident in his strength in music-making.

“I am the best in this sh*t, I don’t wanna be bragging too much, I am the best when you put the whole Afrobeats category. I am not the strongest when it comes to visuals, maybe it due to my personality, I don’t know. But when it comes to the art of making music, I am the best in the last 20 years.

“The only person I sometimes put myself with is Burna Boy. Burna is talented. Apart from Burna, it is me, even with Burna too, it is just me. I feel some type of way when they put me with all these other artists in the same categories. No, don’t do that, I’m the greatest,” he said.
