Davido Honors Highlife Legend Bright Chimezie After Drawing Inspiration from His Classic Hit

A few days ago, Nigerian music star Davido reached out to legendary highlife singer Bright Chimezie, showing love and respect for the icon who inspired his recent song with Omah Lay. Davido revealed that Chimezie’s classic track “English for Key” played a big role in shaping the vibe of the collaboration.

In a warm phone call, Davido praised Chimezie’s timeless music and invited him to Lagos. Just days later, the legendary singer made the trip—and the moment was truly special.

A video shared online captured the feel-good meeting. Davido and Bright Chimezie were all smiles as they hugged, laughed, and enjoyed each other’s company. It was a beautiful link-up that brought together two generations of Nigerian music—one rooted in classic highlife, the other in global Afrobeats.
