On Wednesday, a viral video of Nigerian singer Stanley Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, performing to an uninterested crowd surfaced online.
The video captured an awkward moment when the singer performed at a show in France. However, the crowd looked less concerned as Omah Lay kept up with his energy. They stared at the artiste awkwardly rather than jumping in excitement at his performance as expected.
In the video, only a few black people seemed familiar with his song. They sang along every time Omah Lay approached them. The singer went on with his performance with energy.
After performing his hit single, Soso, Omah Lay, the 26-year-old left the stage with little excitement. Since the viral video, social media users have expressed mixed reactions trying to understand what could have happened.

Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Davido’s alleged French lover, Ivanna Bay, sparked miscarriage rumours after she called for help online.

Chichi, a finalist in the popular reality TV show Big Brother Naija ‘Shine Ya Eyes,’ has reportedly taken legal action against her co-star, Phyna, seeking N100m in damages for alleged defamatory statements.
The lawsuit was in response to a heated argument during the BBNaija Reunion, wherein Phyna accused Chichi of abandoning her husband and children in Benin City, which purportedly resulted in the death of one of her offspring.
But, Chichi vehemently denied being married with children during her appearance on the reunion show despite alleged photo evidence.
