Afrobeats singer Davido has revealed why he collaborated with his colleague, Omah Lay, disclosing that he worked with the Soso crooner because he came public about his doubts about his love for him.
Recall that last year Omah Lay revealed that he had assumed
that Davido “hated” him until the DMW boss spinned his songs during his famous
livestream with American streamer Kai Cenat in Lagos.
In a trending video broadcast, Davido explained that he
reached out to Omah Lay after he saw his tweet. He added that their
interactions led to their collaboration on ‘With You’.
“How Omah Lay and I got together was, Kai Cenat came to
Nigeria and I was driving him to the club and then Omah Lay’s song comes up,
and he was like, ‘Who is this?’
“I responded, ‘Oh! This is Omah Lay, he is hot.’ And then
the next day, Omah Lay tweeted like, ‘Wow! Davido gave me a shoutout on a
livestream, I thought he hated me.’ And I Dmed him, ‘Why would you think I hate
you? We’ve never met.’
“We eventually, exchanged numbers and we were going
back-and-forth with music. We did about four songs and he chose ‘With You’ as
the one we would release,” he explained.
‘With You’ is one of the standout tracks of Davido’s fifth
album, 5ive.
The song has been nominated for the Best African Music
Performance category at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
