Nigerian music star Stanley Omah Didia, widely known as Omah Lay, has shed light on why he recently declined an invitation from Davido to team up on another track.

Speaking during a podcast appearance, Omah Lay revealed that the request came after the success of their previously acclaimed collaboration, “With You.”

Despite the promising prospect of creating another smash hit, the 28-year-old singer said he felt the timing wasn’t right for him.

According to him, he needed to step back and concentrate on shaping his own artistic direction. Omah Lay emphasized that his decision had nothing to do with any personal issues, noting that he holds Davido in high regard.

He explained: “After we dropped the hit song ‘With You,’ Davido called me for a new collaboration, but I declined because I have my own career to build as well.”

The singer stressed that this period of his life is dedicated to personal development, future projects, and strengthening his individual brand.
