Nigerian Afrobeats star, Omah Lay has praised his Icon Davido as a Legend in the music industry.
In a recent interview with The Baller Alert, Nigerian artist Omah Lay expressed deep admiration for Afrobeats sensation Davido, whom he called a “legend.” The rising star from Port Harcourt was enthusiastic when discussing their upcoming collaboration, revealing that the song will be released soon.
When asked which Nigerian superstar he was most eager to work with, Omah Lay was quick to mention Davido. He described their new track as a “perfect match” for both their styles, sharing his excitement about the final product.
“Yes, we have a song coming out soon. I’m really thrilled about it because it turned out even better than I imagined. The vibe between us was just amazing,” Omah Lay said. He also praised Davido’s character, stating, “Davido is an incredible person and the way we connected on this record is just so cool.”
Omah Lay also spoke on Afrobeats’ growing influence in the U.S., highlighting Davido’s pivotal role in spreading the genre worldwide. “Davido is a legend. He’s huge, huge,” Omah Lay remarked, acknowledging the Timeless singer’s contribution to Afrobeats’ global rise.
The announcement of their collaboration follows months of speculation, especially after Omah Lay stirred controversy online by suggesting he once believed Davido disliked him. While the song’s title remains under wraps, fans are eagerly awaiting its release, which will come ahead of Omah Lay’s highly anticipated second album. He recently revealed he had to restart the project after an artist he confided in allegedly stole his original concept.
Despite the competition within the Nigerian music scene, Omah Lay emphasized the mutual respect among artists, noting that this competitive drive pushes them to constantly elevate their craft.
