iMessage Chats Reveal Rema as Alleged Artist Behind Omah Lay’s Stolen Album Idea
Afrobeats sensation Rema is at the center of controversy following accusations that he stole an album concept from fellow Nigerian artist Omah Lay.
The tension began after Omah Lay, in a recent interview, disclosed that another artist had taken his creative ideas after he shared them privately. While he did not mention any names, speculation mounted on Tuesday when alleged screenshots of private chats between the two surfaced on X (formerly Twitter).
The images appeared to show conversations where Rema and Omah Lay discussed potential collaborations and exchanged creative concepts. The screenshots, believed to have been posted from Omah Lay’s burner account, have sparked heated debate among fans and industry observers.
Neither artist has issued an official statement directly addressing the leaked chats.
