Two days after fans raised alarms for Omah Lay's state of mind, the music video to his hit song Soso has surpassed 100 million views on YouTube, marking a significant milestone in the Nigerian artist's career.
Omah Lay, whose real name is Stanley Omah Didia has been getting headlines this past week, with his mental health concerns and the release of the music video for another of his hit singles Holy Ghost. His music has been praised for its unique blend of traditional African rhythms and contemporary sounds, making him a popular choice for collaborations with other artists.
The success of Soso on YouTube is a testament to Omah Lay's growing popularity and the global appeal of Afrobeats. As the Afrobeats scene continues to grow, it is expected that more artists will follow in Omah Lay's footsteps and achieve similar milestones on platforms like YouTube. The genre's cross-continental connections and ability to bring people together through music have made it a force to be reckoned with in the global music industry with artists being nominated for Grammy's and iHeartRadio.
