Veteran highlife musician Bright Chimezie has expressed immense joy after Afrobeats superstar Davido acknowledged him as an inspiration for his hit track “With You” featuring Omah Lay.
In an interview with HipTV, Chimezie revealed that Davido cited his 2018 classic, Because of English, as the creative spark behind the song.
Chimezie commended Davido’s humility and said he felt deeply honoured and grateful for the recognition. He also disclosed that he was unaware of the influence until Davido personally reached out to inform him.
He said: “Words cannot describe how I feel. I’m so delighted. I feel honoured. And I’m grateful to Davido for recognising that he drew inspiration from me,” he said.
“I didn’t even know that his song With You was inspired by my song Because Of English. He was the person who made me to understand that. He put a call across to me and confessed that he was inspired by my song. The humility and everything, I feel so happy about it.”
The highlife legend, who recently signed a publishing deal with Sony Music, has also confirmed that he’s still actively making music, despite taking a backseat in recent years to allow younger artists to thrive.
