Omah Lay and his longtime manager, Muyiwa Awoniyi, have officially parted ways—but not without some social media drama.
On Friday, Awoniyi announced that he would no longer be managing the Nigerian music star. Despite stepping down from his role, he emphasized that his relationship with Omah Lay remains rooted in mutual respect and friendship.
Not long after, Omah Lay responded with a touching message, appreciating Awoniyi’s contributions to his growth and career. The exchange seemed respectful—until singer Kaestyle chimed in with a snarky comment, suggesting that Awoniyi was fired and only trying to spin the narrative in his favor.
That prompted Awoniyi to speak up. He revealed that his main mission as Omah Lay’s manager had been to help the artist break free from a contract he considered deeply unfair. Now that Omah Lay has regained full ownership of his music and is running his career independently through his company, Boy Alone, Awoniyi said his job is done.
“I agreed to manage Omah to get him out of the very slave deal that you signed,” he wrote. “Now he’s free—and so am I. If you know me, you know I’ve always stood for artists and their rights. Omah now owns his masters, and Boy Alone is officially up and running. Mission accomplished.”
With Omah Lay now steering his career on his own terms, it looks like both parties are moving on—with a sense of purpose and pride.
