David Adeleke, the famous Afrobeats star, better known as Davido, has revealed that his hit song With You, featuring Omah Lay, almost didn’t make it onto his album 5ive.
In a recent interview on American News Television ABC, Davido revealed that he considered removing the track from the album, which would have been a huge mistake since it became the biggest hit from the project and one of the biggest Afrobeats records of 2025.
“It almost didn’t make the album… Every time I remember I almost took it off the album, my heart starts beating.
“Shout out to Omah Lay. I am glad we were able to collaborate on a true African classic,” the multi-award-winning superstar stated.
The song’s success has proven to be a wise decision, and Davido has praised Omah Lay, calling their collaboration a “true African classic”.
The song has been a highlight of Davido’s ongoing 5 Alive tour, with a memorable performance at the Scotia Bank Arena in Canada drawing a rousing response from the audience.
The tour has been a huge success, with Davido recently celebrating the sell-out of 12 venues across North America.
To mark the milestone, Davido and his team cut a celebratory cake after his concert at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland, USA.
The tour was briefly paused for Davido’s lavish Miami wedding to his long-term partner, Chioma Rowland, which was attended by several high-profile guests, including Aliko Dangote, Bukola Saraki, and Alex Otti.
