After years of working closely together to build one of the most soulful and successful careers in Afrobeats today, the two have decided to go their separate ways—professionally, at least. The announcement came from Muyiwa Awoniyi himself, who took to social media with a heartfelt message confirming the split. “It’s been a beautiful journey,” he wrote. “I’m forever proud of everything we accomplished together.” No drama, no shade—just vibes and quiet closure. But fans aren’t keeping it quiet. Social media has been buzzing with theories, questions, and emotional tributes to the iconic artist-manager duo. After all, Muyiwa wasn’t just managing Omah Lay—he was part of the vision. From the global breakout hit “Bad Influence” to the hauntingly brilliant Boy Alone album, Muyiwa was right there—crafting strategy, building brand, and steering Omah Lay’s artistry through the chaos of fame. So what happened? According to insiders, the decision was “mutual and respectful,” with both parties simply ready to explore new creative paths. Omah Lay is reportedly looking to restructure his team as he gears up for a new era of music—one that promises even deeper storytelling, bigger global moves, and maybe a little reinvention. And Muyiwa? He’s not slowing down either. As one of the industry’s brightest minds, he's expected to take on new projects, mentor fresh talent, and possibly lead one of the next major artist breakthroughs. Still, fans are a little heartbroken. The chemistry between Omah Lay and Muyiwa wasn’t just professional—it was personal. Their bond, captured in countless behind-the-scenes photos, tour videos, and interviews, gave us a rare glimpse into the kind of loyalty that isn’t easy to find in the music world. But maybe, just maybe, this isn’t goodbye. It's simply a plot twist in a story still being written.
