According to the Omah Lay, he grew up in Marine Base, which was a rough neighborhood in the city when he was growing up.
Omah Lay said; “I grew up among criminals at the Marine Base. And if you know that place well, you’ll know that it was not a place where people used to go out when I was growing up. I grew up around criminals and thugs, and illegal pipeline businesses and stuff like that. It was a lot of trouble for me. I mean, it is part of the thing that has made me what I am today,” he said.
