The With You video is a colorful celebration of Nigerian musical heritage and contemporary flair. Dammy Twitch crafts a narrative that intertwines Davido’s energetic performance with Omah Lay’s soulful melodies, set against vivid backdrops that reflect Lagos’ dynamic spirit. Bright Chimezie’s cameo is a heartfelt nod to the past, with the 70s and 80s highlife pioneer vibing to the track, reinforcing the song’s roots.
