Omah Lay’s “I’m a mess” has officially smashed past the 100 million streams milestone on Spotify, etching another page in Afrobeats history. This makes it the 8th track in Omah Lay’s arsenal to join the 100 million club, and the 65th Nigerian song ever to break this barrier. The numbers don’t lie, Omah Lay is in a league of his own.
Born from the soulful depths of his debut album “Boy Alone,” released July 15, 2022, “I’m a mess” is an anthem for the restless, the dreamers, and anyone who’s ever felt lost in the Lagos midnight. With the Boy Alone album now boasting 5 songs over 100 million streams, he’s set a record as the first Nigerian album to reach this level of global streaming dominance.
The journey from Port Harcourt’s underground scene to global playlists is no small feat. Omah Lay’s sound—a mix of vulnerability, street wisdom, and silky Afrobeats magic—has carved him a seat at the high table of Nigerian music exports. Every stream, every lyric, and every chorus is proof.
With Boy Alone and its deluxe edition (dropped June 15, 2023), Omah Lay continues to push the envelope, owning his mess and turning vulnerability into worldwide resonance. As he racks up these milestones, he’s amplifying the Nigerian narrative, inspiring a new generation to sing, stream, and soar beyond limits.
100 million streams? That’s not just numbers. That’s impact. That’s Afrobeats. That’s Omah Lay.
