Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has disclosed that he was on the verge of leaving the music scene shortly before the release of his chart-topping song “With You” featuring Omah Lay.
In a now viral interview, the multiple award-winning artist confessed that he never expected the track to become the standout hit of his latest album.
According to him, the song’s massive success reignited his passion for music when he was contemplating stepping back after more than a decade in the industry.
Reflecting on his journey, Davido noted how rare it is for an artist to enjoy such a breakthrough this far into their career.
He described the timing of the hit as divine, emphasising that it came just when he was preparing to slow down.
“Some artists get that kind of song at the start of their careers, others in the middle. For me, 13–14 years in, I was even thinking of bowing out. Then God blessed me with this song. It added more life to my journey,” he said.
