NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert is a notable platform where artistes showcase their talent and vocal abilities with a live performance in the NPR studio.
Many of these performances have brought musicians more popularity while others face criticism.
For Nigerian artiste Omah Lay, the latter seems to be the case. NPR on the last day of Black History Month, February 28, shared Omah Lay’s showdown.
Omah Lay performs his hit single ‘Soso’ on @nprmusic Tiny desk.

The performance however did not seem to impress some fans who say they were expecting more.
Ei😂😂

Looks like he's allowing the reason for the inspiration of the song distract him from this particular performance.

The reason for the inspiration of the song is really heartbreaking.
It's glaring. 🤕

Should have just tuned his voice. Wouldn’t hurt anyone
— john (@stillwater4u) March 1, 2023
Fair enough. I just watched the whole thing and he did really well actually. This was the only part that was bad sound wise. His band also did great.
