Omah Lay Says He’s “Not Ready to Be a Baby Daddy”
Nigerian Afrobeats singer Omah Lay (born Stanley Omah Didia) has openly shared his mindset regarding fatherhood, revealing on social media that he is currently not prepared to become a “baby daddy”.
Key Statements
Through a series of posts on Snapchat, Omah Lay wrote:
“I’m very much not ready to be a baby daddy, but I’m their father, their father in the highest, at peace in Heaven blowing clean Canada.”
He added:
“Everything happens but nothing ever happens to me. I don’t expect you to understand but…”
He also commented on his relationship status, saying:
“I miss my Yoruba girl bad, I like them but when e too plenty e Dey turn me off. Yeah I got no girls. It has become a boring activity of late.”
What It Suggests
Omah Lay seems to be in a reflective, perhaps spiritual-emotional space, emphasising his inner peace and detachment from external turbulence.
His statement that he is not ready to take on fatherhood suggests he is prioritising personal growth, stability and perhaps his career, before entering the responsibilities of being a parent.
Mentioning “their father, their father in the highest” and “at peace in Heaven” may indicate a metaphorical or spiritual framing rather than a literal declaration of fatherhood.
His remark about relationships becoming “boring” and his lack of active dating indicates his current focus is not on romantic entanglements or conventional commitment.
Context & Industry Implication
In the Nigerian entertainment scene, discussions around “baby daddy” status often carry cultural and social weight, touching on themes of responsibility, legacy, stability and public image.
Omah Lay’s openness may reflect a wider trend among young celebrities to manage expectations about fame, relationships and family life in the public eye.
Fans and observers are attentive to how personal disclosures by artists like him may influence their music, image and connection with audiences (especially since Omah Lay is known for emotive and introspective work).
What to Watch For
Whether Omah Lay’s forthcoming music or public appearances will reference this phase of his life, such as his detachment from relationship pressures or his current mindset.
If his comments spur industry or social media discussions about the readiness for parenthood among celebrities, especially in Nigeria’s cultural context.
How his fan-base and media respond: Will this be seen as a sign of maturity, caution or withdrawal from romantic-public life?
