Nigerian singer Omah Lay has reacted to online criticism following a set of bold photos he shared while on vacation abroad.
The “Soso” crooner recently posted pictures of himself relaxing in what appeared to be a luxurious resort, dressed in only white briefs while sipping a drink. The photos quickly went viral, sparking a wave of reactions across social media.
While many fans praised his confidence and physique, others took a different tone—criticizing him and even labeling him with derogatory terms.
In response, Omah Lay took to his Instagram story to address the backlash directly. He wrote:
“Ni**as that have lost their freedom to ego and rigidity are in my DMs calling [me] gay 😂.”
The singer’s message appeared to call out those who felt uncomfortable with his openness, suggesting that such reactions stem from insecurity and rigid societal expectations.
The post has since generated mixed reactions.
