In an interview with OkayAfrica, reposted by HYPETRIBE on Monday, Davido shared that during internal listening sessions, the song failed to stand out and wasn’t initially seen as a favorite by his team.
“Man, it’s so crazy because that song almost didn’t make the album. With You was not in anybody’s top five,” he admitted.
He added that the song’s massive success has been an emotional experience, often reflecting on how close it came to being left out. “And now look at it go. Every time I perform it, my heart starts beating—what if I didn’t put this song?” he said.
With You went on to earn Davido another Grammy nomination and has become one of his most successful recent releases, topping charts and surpassing 100 million streams on Spotify.
Davido also recounted how he learned about the nomination, calling it unexpected. The news came while he was in Dubai, just days before his birthday, as he was out checking a car. “They were like, ‘Oh yeah, another nomination.’ I was like, wow. Thank God,” he recalled.
Looking ahead, the singer said his focus is on touring and releasing new music. He confirmed that he will perform at Coachella 2026, making him the only Nigerian artist on the festival lineup.
Davido is set to take the stage on both Saturdays, April 11 and April 18, 2026, in Indio, California. “Going back on tour, definitely more music. I’m about to do Coachella. Big plans,” he said.

“My Man Is Not Finding It Funny” – Nkechi Blessing Warns Opeyemi Falegan Over Her Pictures.
Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has appealed to her former lover, Opeyemi Falegan, to stop posting her pictures on social media.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The warning came barely five days after the actress and the Ekiti-born politician reconciled and apologised to each other during a TikTok live session.
News reports that Nkechi and Falegan settled their past differences on November 7, 2026, following issues surrounding their former relationship.
However, Falegan, who is also a United States-based military officer, later shared a picture of himself and the actress on social media.
The post generated reactions among Nigerians, with some assuming that the former lovers had rekindled their romance.
Nkechi, however, dismissed such suggestions, insisting that their reconciliation did not mean they had resumed their romantic relationship.
In a post shared on her Instagram Story on Thursday, the actress called on people close to Falegan to advise him to stop sharing her pictures.
She explained that his repeated posts were creating tension between her and her current partner, who was uncomfortable with the situation.
She said: “Anybody wey sabi that honorable should pls tell him to stop posting my picture on his page every minute. My man is not finding it funny and I am seriously tired of explaining like I’m a child. Oga we don apologise to each other kindly leave me alone na.”

News reports that the entertainer announced his new career development in a post shared on his Instagram page.
Justin UG revealed that joining the military was never part of his plans, noting that he would have found it difficult to believe anyone who predicted a few years ago that he would eventually wear the military uniform.
He disclosed that the past few weeks had been physically and mentally challenging, but the experience had taught him the importance of mental strength and the ability to push beyond personal limits.
The actor expressed pride in himself for completing the demanding experience, while appreciating the lessons he had learnt along the way.
He wrote: “You never really know where certain decisions will take you or how much they can change the course of your life.
“If you had told me a few years ago that I’d one day be wearing this uniform, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. This was never a path I imagined for myself, but here we are.
“The past few weeks have been some of the most mentally and physically challenging weeks of my life. But if there’s one thing this experience has taught me, it’s just how powerful the mind really is. We’re capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for and I’m incredibly proud of myself for seeing this through and grateful for everything this experience has taught me.
“Would I want to do it all over again? Absolutely not 🙏😂. But I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.”

He also warned those who might not receive replies to make the necessary payment if they want his attention.
The comedian wrote, “Now charging money to reply messages. So if you don’t get a reply, pay up!”
In other news, Bovi has opened up about his experience raising his son, revealing that the boy broke three television sets on separate occasions due to his behaviour.
Naija News reports that the comedian had previously stated that he does not believe in beating children as a form of discipline.
He maintained that parents should allow their children to grow and learn while providing proper guidance.
Bovi explained that his son sometimes broke household items when he was angry or simply out of playfulness, including three television sets in their home.
The comedian added that he was able to replace the damaged televisions because he could afford to do so, noting that the situation might have been different if he lacked the financial means.
