Afritunes week #138, I trust you all are doing okay. It's another of our weekly contest, and for this week I'd be covering a song by Nigerian singer-songwriter Omah Lay called "Bad Influence". This record was released off Omah Lay's EP "Get layd" which was released in 2020.
Bad Influence is about a girl who once led him down a dark path, she made him do some unhealthy things excessively like drinking, smoking till he burns his liver all cause of what she did to him. She was his everything, he literally followed her up and down. Now he's slowly losing his mind because she's no longer there with him, so this influenced him badly, making him drink and smoke excessively just to numb the pain he's feeling. He was just a regular guy trying to make good music with his guitar till he met her, and as she's gone...he feels lost. He really wanted them to work, he did everything she asked of him, everything she said to him he did till she scattered his plans 💔. This song is more like a heartbreak song and the coping mechanisms people use when they're heartbroken, it's always never a healthy choice. Omah's love interest really got him influenced badly by not sticking with him thereby making him do a lot of unhealthy things. I do hope you all enjoy 🎧 my cover of this record, see you soon.
