Why Is No One Talking About Omah Lay’s Verse on Davido’s “With You”? — This Guy Is a Genius!
By NaijaRush
In the ever-buzzing world of Nigerian music, it’s easy for subtle brilliance to get overshadowed by hype and headlines. But if you’ve listened closely to Davido’s song “With You” featuring Omah Lay, you’ll know one thing for sure: Omah Lay is not just a musical artist — he’s a lyrical craftsman, a vocal genius, and a master at his craft.
So the question is — why is nobody talking about that verse?
A Verse That Deserves a Standing Ovation 🎤
Right from the moment Omah Lay comes in, there’s a shift — a vibe, a depth, a feeling that only he can bring. The way he sings, the way he bends his voice around each syllable, and how he layers emotion into simple lines? It’s pure magic. He doesn’t just “feature” on a song. He transforms it.
Take this line, for example:
“Baby, the weather Is getting cold... Cold inside... Double sweater…”
Sounds simple, right? But listen again. Listen to the melody behind those words. Hear how his voice bleeds vulnerability, how he brings emotional honesty to a song that could have just been another love bop. That’s where Omah Lay separates himself from the crowd.
The Art of Saying So Much With So Little
In a time when many artists chase catchy hooks and recycled lyrics, Omah Lay takes a different path. He’s subtle, deliberate, and emotional. His verse on “With You” is not long, but it carries weight. There’s a calm confidence in how he delivers each line — no rush, no over-singing, just pure connection.
It’s like he’s whispering directly into your soul.
And let’s not forget the writing — the lyricism is elite. Every word counts. Every phrase has a purpose. There’s poetry hidden in simplicity, and Omah Lay knows how to tap into that like very few can.
Why Is the Industry Sleeping on This?
Let’s be honest — if another artist had dropped a verse like that, the internet would be on fire. But Omah Lay? It seems like people are too used to his brilliance to notice when he delivers yet another masterpiece.
Maybe it’s because he makes it look too easy. Or maybe it’s because he’s not shouting or chasing trends. But that calm, focused, intentional energy? That’s rare.
This is not just talent — this is skill. And skills like this deserve flowers.
It’s Time to Give Omah Lay His Flowers 💐
Omah Lay has consistently delivered hit, from “Godly” to “Soso” and now his feature on “With You”. He’s one of the few artists who never compromise depth for clout, and that’s what makes his music timeless.
As Naija music continues to grow globally, we need to appreciate the artists who are pushing the boundaries of songwriting, delivery, and storytelling. Omah Lay is not just riding the wave — he’s crafting the current.
So What Now?
If you haven’t listened to “With You” properly — go back and play that Omah Lay verse. Headphones in. Volume up. Heart open.
Then ask yourself again:
How is no one talking about this?
