While speaking at the video shoot of Davido‘s ‘With You’ featuring Omah Lay, Nigerian Highlife legend Bright Chimezie revealed that he wasn’t aware that Davido sampled his record in the viral hit single.

He added that it was not until the Afrobeats hitmaker called his attention to this that he became aware that his 41-year-old classic ‘Because of English’ was one of the inspirations for the track.

“I am so delighted. I feel honoured. I am grateful to Davido for recognising the fact that he drew inspiration from me,” he said. “I didn’t even know. He was the one who called and confessed to me, “Daddy, this is what I did.” His humility and everything made me so happy about it.”

In the interview, the legend further added that he has plans to release new music. This comes after he recently penned a publishing deal with Sony Music’s West Africa arm.

“We have so many songs to record. In fact, we were in the studio before David called, so we are in business”.
