Sensational musician, Davido speaks on how he was about to quit music before his hit song, “With You” with his colleague, Omah Lay.
He revealed this while speaking in a recent interview that surfaced on social media.
According to him, he never expected the song to be the most popular in his 5ive Album.
He revealed that before his song with Omah Lay he was thinking of bowing out of the music industry after a career spanning a decade.
Davido expressed gratitude to have had a song that did very well after 14 years in the music industry, noting that some do get such explosive music early on in their career or much later.
The singer 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” tops on Spotify
It is worth noting that Davido’s “With You” ft. Omah Lay is now the #1 most streamed 2025 Nigerian song on Spotify.
It was also nominated for “Song of the Year” at the 2025 AFRIMA Awards, topping charts like the Official Nigeria Top 100, and becoming a top 5 Afrobeats song on Billboard US.
