Afrobeats star Omah Lay has finally broken his silence after that alarming viral video of him being wheeled off on a stretcher.
The singer, real name Stanley Omah Didia, confirmed on Monday, October 26 via X and Instagram Story that he sustained a knee ligament injury while rehearsing on location for an upcoming music video shoot in Los Angeles, California.
Reports say he was attempting an acrobatic stunt during rehearsals when he got injured. Days before his statement, footage showed him lying on the floor with his left leg wrapped, then being carried by paramedics into an ambulance.
In a follow-up Instagram Story, he was seen using crutches, confirming the severity. He did not give more details on the exact move that caused it, but said recovery will take 4-6 weeks.
His Clarity of Mind World Tour – named after his second studio album released in April 2026 – had started September 25 in Edmonton, Canada.
All dates from October 30, 2026 onwards are now postponed:
