In a heartfelt announcement that has stirred conversation across social media, Muyiwa Awoniyi, the longtime manager of Nigerian Afrobeats star Omah Lay, has officially ended his professional relationship with the singer.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Awoniyi wrote:
“With love and respect, I am no longer managing @Omah_Lay. That’s my brother and I wish him all the best in his endeavours for life!”
The statement, though brief, reflects mutual respect and affection, hinting that the split was not driven by conflict but rather a natural evolution in their professional journeys.
Muyiwa Awoniyi, a respected figure in the Nigerian music management space, has played a crucial role in Omah Lay’s rise to stardom, from breakout hits like “Bad Influence” to global recognition with songs like “Understand” and “Soso.”
While fans are curious about what’s next for both Omah Lay and Awoniyi, many have praised the duo for handling the transition maturely and respectfully—setting an example in an industry often marked by messy breakups.
As of now, neither party has revealed future management plans or the reason behind the decision, but industry insiders believe it could signal a new chapter for Omah Lay as he continues to grow his global influence.
