Veteran Nigerian musician Bright Chimezie feels honored that Afrobeats star Davido drew inspiration from his work. Davido told people that Chimezie's song Because Of English inspired his hit record With You featuring Omah Lay. Chimezie appeared in the music video for With You that came out recently. He talked to Hip TV about how Davido called him personally to explain the connection between the two songs. The older artist never realized Davido had borrowed from his music until the younger star confessed.
Chimezie praised Davido for being humble and honest about using his song as inspiration. He said words cannot describe how delighted and grateful he feels about the recognition. The highlife legend recently signed a publishing deal with Sony Music and continues making new music. He explained that veteran artists like himself stepped back to give younger musicians space to grow and succeed. Chimezie believes this approach helps the Nigerian music industry develop fresh talent.
