Afrobeats superstar, Davido, warmly received veteran highlife musician, Bright Chimezie, at his residence in Lagos. This heartfelt meeting comes just days after Davido publicly acknowledged Bright Chimezie as the inspiration behind his song, ‘With You’.
Recall that Davido recently revealed that Chimezie’s iconic track, ‘Because of English’, played a significant role in shaping the creative direction of his own recent release. In his show of admiration, Davido had earlier promised to host the music legend and bring him over to Lagos.
Fulfilling that promise, Davido invited Bright Chimezie to his lavish Lagos home, where he personally welcomed him upon arrival. A video shared online shows Bright Chimezie arriving in one of Davido’s flashy luxury cars, highlighting the special treatment extended to the highlife icon.
The touching moment captures Davido hurrying out to greet his guest, exchanging warm pleasantries and ensuring he felt completely at home.
