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.

“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.
