Nigerian singer and songwriter, Stanley Omah Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has stirred up a storm of reactions online with his recent performance at the Eventim Apollo in London during his “Boy Alone” tour.
Amidst cheer from the audience, the 26-year-old artist invited a female fan to join him on stage during his rendition of the song “Bend You”.
What later ensued left many jaws dropping as the performance took a steamy turn with the duo engaging in raunchy dance moves behind a curtain, visible only by their silhouettes.
The incident, captured on multiple mobile devices by concertgoers, swiftly went viral, triggering a wave of disapproval and criticism online.
One particular clip showed the alleged boyfriend of the woman shaking his head in disappointment before exiting the venue, visibly perturbed by the unfolding scene.
Social critic, Daniel Regha has labeled the incidence as ‘inappropriate,’ reminiscing on days when live performances held more value.
“Omah Lay’s inappropriate dance with a fan on stage isn’t the problem, but the audience who encouraged such performance by cheering ’em; Both should’ve been booed off stage. There was a time when music used to be strictly entertainment, & live performances were mind-blowing, now it’s heavily centered on sexual gratification,” he wrote.
