Nigerian singer, Stanley Omah Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has revealed that he now believes in God and respects Him without adhering to a specific religion.
The 26-year-old artist shared insights into his religious beliefs during a recent appearance on media personality Wunmi Bello’s show.
Omah Lay, who shared his perspective on Christianity and Islam, claimed that his connection with God grew stronger as he began to earn money.
The singer stated that he no longer finds joy in religion, despite growing up in a Christian household and considering converting to Islam at one point.
“I think as soon as I made money I just switched, I just believed in God and respected God and became more human than religion, I just don’t enjoy religion anymore,” he said.
“I grew up in a Christian home, I spent a lot of time in church and at some point I was going to convert to Islam but now I’m at the point where it’s just me and God, no religion.”
Omah Lay also expressed doubts about the authenticity of religious texts and their divine origin but remained convinced that there is a supreme creator guiding him and overseeing the world.
He said, “I really don’t know anything and that’s the problem, it’s just these books and everyone is saying this and that but in no way does it sound true.
“These are just books that I cannot find evidence that this was written by God or his servant himself, so I feel like I don’t know anything. In as much as I know the Bible, I know Jesus, and I know Allah, but at the end of the day, I don’t have evidence.
“The only evidence that I have is that he is moving me, I know there is something somewhere that is in charge of this whole thing” the singer added.
