Nigerian sensation Omah Lay has revealed a highly anticipated collaboration with Afrobeats superstar Davido.
Speaking with hosts Ferrari Simmons and Byron Turner on The Baller Alert Show, the 27-year-old artist shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming release.
Omah Lay expressed his surprise at how seamlessly they connected during their collaboration. “We have a song already that’s coming out, and I’m so excited about it!”
The singer, whose real name is Stanley Omah Didi, admitted that he started the project with modest expectations. However, Davido’s warm demeanor transformed his outlook, leading to a fruitful partnership. “The way we got along, and how we made this record happen, blew my mind,” he added.
Lay, who previously believed that Davido had a negative view of him, now describes the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker as an “amazing person.” He expressed his astonishment at how effortlessly they collaborated.
Omah Lay also touched on the dynamics within the Nigerian music scene, dispelling the myth that all artists are close friends. “There’s a lot of love, but also competition, and that’s what makes the industry thrive,” he noted. “When everyone is relaxed, it doesn’t drive innovation. But we’re not at odds; it’s healthy competition. I just want to make better music and be the best.”
Omah Lay has become a standout figure in the Nigerian music landscape. He first captured attention in 2020 with hit singles “You” and “Bad Influence,” showcasing his unique style and talent.
