Omah Lay says afrobeats are no longer safe.

Singer Omah Lay has stated that the afrobeats genre is under jeopardy.

He expressed concern that the genre was becoming diluted to cater to foreign audiences and becoming unduly commercial.

On the Zach Sang Show, Omah Lay declared that the afrobeats genre is no longer in good hands.

He claimed that the genre's profitable nature causes many musicians to sing for money rather than enthusiasm.

"There is too much money in Afrobeats." "Afrobeats artists are just trying to get money," he remarked.

"I think people are messing up Afrobeats. I also believe it is becoming more commercial. Right now, I don't think Afrobeats is in good hands."

The afrobeats genre has recently come under fire, with renowned Jamaican reggae performer Buju Banton calling it "f*ckery."

In his divisive interview, he said that afrobeats lacked depth and would vanish over time.
