Afrobeats musician Davido has explained why he worked with Omah Lay, revealing that he did so since the Soso crooner publicly expressed his reservations about his love for him.
Remember how Omah Lay said last year that he thought Davido “hated” him until the DMW leader blasted his songs during his well-known livestream in Lagos with American streamer Kai Cenat?
Davido clarified in a popular video broadcast that he contacted Omah Lay after seeing his tweet. They collaborated on “With You” as a result of their interactions, he continued.
“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.
Afrobeats singer Davido’s first baby mom, Sophia Momodu, has responded to a slew of internet remarks directed against her daughter, Imade Adeleke, calling them intentional lies regarding the child’s welfare.
Sophia clarified in a thorough Snapchat post that she has never prevented her 10-year-old from seeing her father and that she placed a high value on her safety and regular routines.
Anyone who has met Imade in person can attest to the fact that she is a content, healthy, and well-rounded child, according to her.
She claims to have been Imade’s principal carer for the previous five years and to have personally paid for almost all of the child’s costs.
The only exception has been school fees, which Davido’s father, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, has covered for the last three years.
She claimed that she has never received formal child support from Davido, yet Imade lacks nothing and is growing up in a stable, loving environment.
