Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has revealed that he was close to quitting music shortly before the release of his hit track “With You” featuring Omah Lay.
In a now-viral interview, the award-winning singer admitted he didn’t anticipate the song would become the standout from his latest album.
He explained that the track’s unexpected success rekindled his passion for music at a time when he was seriously considering stepping away after over a decade in the spotlight.
Reflecting on his journey, Davido noted how uncommon it is for artists to experience such a breakthrough later in their careers, describing the moment as divine and perfectly timed.
“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.
