The Afrobeats star explained that the relationship had looked promising and that he even thought about starting a family with the woman, but things fell apart just as he was attending the Grammys.
“Every time I fall in love, I lose myself. While I was at the Grammy and Justin Bieber was performing, I was having a breakup and an embarrassing moment.”
Omah Lay noted that the issues in the relationship had already begun before the award show, leaving him mentally absent throughout the ceremony.
“While I was at the Grammys, I was not present because even before the show I had already started having issues in my relationship. And this was only a two-month-old relationship. But I thought it was the right relationship and I was going to have a baby.”
The singer admitted that the heartbreak made it impossible for him to enjoy the Grammys, and he linked his struggles with love to his tendency to focus fully on one thing at a time.
