While performing recently in Berlin, Germany, Afrobeats talent, Omah Lay, resisted the ‘temptation’ to indulge another female fan in a seductive dance on stage, stressing he did not “want trouble.”
In a recent video, the singer was seen performing his single Bend You once again when he signalled a female fan and asked: “Are you with your boyfriend? I don’t want trouble.” He continued: “Maybe I should pick a guy this time,” as the instrumental for Bend You played in the background.
It would be recalled that Omah Lay, brought on a female fan in a raunchy stage performance in London last month, which got netizens talking online.
While some followers thought the episode was staged, others thought it was an inappropriate public display. The singer was performing his Bend You single at the time.
The song has more or less a seductive rhythm, which perhaps prompted the Holy Ghost Fire crooner to act according to the lyrics.
The video, which circulated widely, captured the singer rocking the female dancer as their silhouette emerged through the curtains.
“Imagine seeing my girl go down on her knee, arching her back and twerking for a musician on stage. The babe did her boyfriend dirty,” a follower said.
Some remarks suggested Omah Lay could have used professional dancers for his concert rather than interfering with people’s relationships. But other followers thought both performers were only having “innocent fun.”
Omah Lay did not speak publicly about the concert and criticisms, except in another short video in which he expressed affection for a lady after the London concert.
After the backlash, the female fan stated that contrary to public perception, her boyfriend encouraged her to go up on stage after Omah Lay called her, adding that she bought the tickets for herself and her boyfriend.
