Omah Lay Drops Mesmerizing ‘Waist’ Music Video Amid Fan Buzz
Nigerian Afrobeats star Omah Lay has released the official music video for his hit track “Waist,” sparking widespread excitement across social media.
The video, which premiered on January 20, 2026, on Omah Lay’s official YouTube channel, was shot in London last February. It blends ethereal visuals, moody lighting, and intricate choreography to match the song’s sultry mood. Backed by Tempoe’s smooth, atmospheric production, Waist explores themes of desire, indulgence, and luxury elements that have become synonymous with Omah Lay’s signature sound.
Within hours of its release, the video racked up nearly 100,000 views, with fans flooding the comment section to praise it as a “certified banger.” Some supporters have even gone as far as tipping the song as a future Grammy contender, citing its global appeal and polished production.
However, the release also ignited a brief online debate after a post reposted by Davido claimed the video had amassed two million views within hours. The figure was quickly disputed by Omah Lay’s fans, who labeled it an exaggeration. While some supporters expressed frustration over the claim, others dismissed it as a simple mistake with no ill intent.
The conversation later shifted to Omah Lay’s growing influence, with fans highlighting his collaboration “With You” as a standout record that helped carry his recent album.
Despite the momentary controversy, Waist continues to gain momentum, reinforcing Omah Lay’s position as one of Afrobeats’ most compelling and globally resonant voices.
