Davido “With You” ft. Omah Lay Hits 40 Million Views on YouTube!
Nigerian superstar Davido, together with rising star Omah Lay, has just achieved another major milestone: their collaborative single “With You” has now surpassed 40 million views on YouTube.
The visual, part of Davido’s 2025 album 5IVE, serves as a powerful example of Afrobeats' growing global reach — and the momentum behind both artists’ careers.
📈 Why The 40 Million-View Mark Matters
- Hitting 40 million views for a Nigerian artist in 2025 shows sustained engagement and global fan interest.
- The milestone suggests the single has strong replay value, algorithmic traction, and cross-platform support.
- It gives both Davido and Omah Lay more credibility internationally — for festivals, collabs, brand deals and more.
While for global pop stars such numbers might sometimes be expected, for Afrobeats and African artists this still serves as a major benchmark of success in the digital era.
🎶 A Quick Look at “With You”
“With You” was released in April 2025 via Columbia/Davido’s label as track 17 on the “5IVE” album. The song features Omah Lay’s distinct melodic voice and Davido’s signature energy — a combination that tapped both street-cred and mainstream appeal. Its YouTube visual helped amplify its reach.
🌍 What This Means for Afrobeats
This milestone continues to highlight how Afrobeats is no longer a regional sound — it's a global music movement. Each major view‐count achievement adds to the genre’s legitimacy worldwide.
For emerging artists, this signals that:
- Collaborations between established and rising stars work.
- High quality visuals + global distribution = international traction.
- There is still opportunity to break new records from Africa in 2025-26.
🧠 What Artists & Producers Can Learn
From a creator’s angle, this milestone offers several lessons:
- Strong feature choices matter. Pairing rising voices (Omah Lay) with established names (Davido) can target multiple fan-bases.
- Visuals count. The high view count shows listeners responded not just to the audio but also to the video experience.
- Album tracks can still break big. “With You” wasn’t just a lead single — it proves that album songs can still become digital hits.
🔮 What’s Next for the Single
With the 40 M mark hit, the next plateau might be 100 M+ views. Davido and Omah Lay are both in positions to capitalise: tours, remixes, global festivals, and brand partnerships could follow.
Keep an eye on the streaming numbers, chart places in the U.S. & U.K., and how this single continues to ride momentum in markets beyond Africa.
