Nigerian music sensation Omah Lay has revealed that he turned down an offer for a new musical collaboration with Afrobeats star Davido, citing a need to focus on his own career trajectory.
Omah Lay made the disclosure during a recent podcast appearance, giving insight into his strategic decisions regarding high-profile partnerships following their successful previous work.
The two artists first collaborated on the hit track “With You,” a song that garnered significant airplay and positive reception from fans across the globe. Despite this proven success, Omah Lay explained that he had to make a tough choice when the opportunity for a second collaboration arose.
“After we dropped the hit song ‘With You’, Davido called me for a new collaboration but I declined because I have my career to pursue too,” Omah Lay stated on the podcast.

In a recent radio interview, Bwala stated that while Nigerians venting frustration are easily tracked because they use domestic internet services, bandits evade tracking by utilizing internet services originating from outside the country.
According to him, “There is a regulatory body in Nigeria that has the database of Nigerians and their phone numbers. There is also a body that deals with internet service provision where if you are using an internet service covered within the sphere of Nigeria, they can trace through the IP address where you are.
“If you are using Starlink, we cannot trace it because Starlink is not registered in Nigeria, it is in space. That is the problem they have in Ukraine and Russia. These terrorists most of the time are using cellular services from the neighbouring countries and not from Nigeria, so it becomes tricky.’’
