Grammy 2026: I Thought Davido Didn’t Like Me — Omah Lay

Omah Lay made the revelation while speaking about their journey to a Grammy Awards nomination, explaining that early assumptions almost prevented what later became a major musical moment.
According to the singer, he initially felt Davido was distant and uninterested in working with him, which created the impression that there was some form of dislike or tension between them. However, he later realised that the situation was simply a misunderstanding and not a personal issue.
Omah Lay disclosed that their relationship changed after they eventually connected and had an honest conversation, which helped clear the air and build mutual respect.
The renewed understanding led to their collaboration on the song With You, which went on to earn critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination, marking a major milestone for both artistes.
Reflecting on the experience, Omah Lay described the collaboration as a turning point in his career, noting that working with Davido helped him grow artistically and professionally.
The singer also praised Davido for his openness and support, adding that the project proved the importance of communication and unity within the Nigerian music industry.
