Veteran Nigerian musician Bright Chimezie has expressed his joy over the recent declaration of Afrobeats star Davido that he drew inspiration from the veteran.
Earlier, Davido disclosed that Chimezie’s song ‘Because Of English’ inspired his hit record ‘With You’ with Omah Lay.
Reacting to the disclosure, the surprised veteran noted that he didn’t realise that his song was the inspiration behind the Grammy-nominated singer’s son until Davido opened up.
He praised Davido for his humility, stressing that he was honoured by the OBO crooner’s gesture.
“Words cannot describe how I feel. I’m so delighted. I feel honoured. And I’m grateful to Davido for recognising that he drew inspiration from me.
“I didn’t even know that his song With You was inspired by my song Because Of English. He was the person who made me to understand that. He put a call across to me and confessed that he was inspired by my song. The humility and everything, I feel so happy about it,” the legendary singer stated.
