Afrobeats superstar Davido has opened up about a challenging moment in his career when he almost quit music before releasing his chart-topping collaboration with Omah Lay. Speaking candidly, Davido revealed that the track "With You," from his fifth studio album 5ive, was almost left off the album during final track selections.
The hit song featuring Omah Lay has since become one of the biggest Afrobeats anthems of 2025, dominating streaming charts across Africa, Europe, and North America. Davido expressed gratitude for the collaboration, calling it a "true African classic," and reflected on the profound impact the song has had on his career and fans worldwide.
Despite the moment of doubt, "With You" has become a showstopper in Davido’s ongoing 5 Alive world tour, notably highlighted by a memorable performance alongside Omah Lay at the sold-out Scotiabank Arena in Canada. The tour continues to draw global acclaim as Davido celebrates major milestones both professionally and personally, including his high-profile wedding earlier this year.
