Afrobeat superstar Davido recently hosted legendary Highlife musician Bright Chimezie in Lagos after Chimezie’s heartfelt tribute to Davido’s new single “With You” featuring Omah Lay went viral. The private meeting showcased Davido’s admiration for the veteran artist, including a video call introduction to his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Bright Chimezie praised Davido and Omah Lay for sampling his classic hit “Because of English” in the track, which blends contemporary Afrobeats with traditional Highlife sounds. Produced by Tempoe, “With You” is a standout from Davido’s fifth studio album, 5ive.
This memorable encounter celebrates the fusion of Nigeria’s musical heritage with modern styles and underscores Davido’s upcoming international tour, including a major UK show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium alongside 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige.
