I Was Planning To Quit Music Until My Collaboration With Omah Lay


Nigerian superstar Davido has revealed that he was on the verge of quitting music before the release of his hit collaboration, With You, featuring Omah Lay.

The singer made this known in a recent interview that surfaced on X on Sunday, where he admitted he did not anticipate the track becoming the standout hit from his 5ive album.

According to him, before the success of With You, he had been considering stepping away from the music industry after more than a decade-long career.

Expressing gratitude, Davido said the song’s impact gave his career fresh energy after 14 years in the industry.

He partly said, “We thank God. 13 or 14 years after for me to have this kind of song, people have this kind of song at the beginning of their career or in the middle. Me that was even getting ready to bow out then God gives me this kind of song. He definitely added more life to it…”

With You featuring Omah Lay has since grown into a record-breaking track. It is currently the #1 most streamed Nigerian song of 2025 on Spotify, while also earning a nomination for “Song of the Year” at the 2025 AFRIMA Awards.

The single topped the Official Nigeria Top 100 chart and ranked among the top 5 Afrobeats songs on Billboard US.
