Nigerian singer Omah Lay has shared details about a recent short-lived relationship that ended painfully for him.
He spoke during the listening party of his new album, Clarity of Mind.
Naija News reports that the romance lasted only two months, but the artiste said he invested deeply in it and even imagined a future with a child.
He revealed that the breakup happened during the Grammy Awards while Justin Bieber was performing, making the situation even more difficult for him.
The timing of the split meant that he could not fully enjoy the event or focus on the music, as his mind was preoccupied with personal heartbreak.
The experience inspired one of the songs on his upcoming album. The track, titled ‘Don’t Love Me’, reflects his struggle to balance love and personal happiness.
Omah Lay explained that when he commits to something, he gives it his all, which made it hard for him to be present at the Grammy event while dealing with the breakup.
He said: “I thought it was the right relationship and I was going to have a baby. Every time I fall in love, I lose myself. While I was at the Grammy and Justin Bieber was performing, I was having a breakup and an embarrassing moment. I wasn’t even present at the Grammys because even before the show, I had already started having issues in my relationship.
“This was only a two-month-old relationship, but I gave it my all. I do not know how to do two things at a time. When I am into one thing, all of me is into that. My song ‘Don’t Love Me’ is me saying, let us enjoy this moment, but as soon as I find another thing that gives me pleasure, I’m going to leave.”
