What initially appeared to be an amicable split quickly escalated into a public war of words involving label loyalties and controversial contract claims.

Muyiwa Awoniyi revealed on X that he was no longer managing Omah Lay, sparking waves across the music scene. But shortly after, label mate Kaestyle threw shade, writing: “Dem sack you, you say I’m no longer… lol always quick to go on social media.”

Taking offense, Awoniyi fired back, alleging that he had only agreed to manage Omah Lay to help him escape an unfavorable deal with their record label, KeyQaad—where Kaestyle remains signed. He added, “You… are a slave.”

Kaestyle criticizes Muyiwa Awoniyi not just with sarcasm but by challenging the narrative being painted online, escalating tensions around Omah Lay’s rumored new imprint, Boy Alone.

While Omah Lay has publicly praised Awoniyi as “the most intelligent” person he knows, he hasn’t confirmed his exit from KeyQaad or officially launched his new imprint.
