Lagos, Nigeria — In a move that fans have long dreamed of, Nigerian music powerhouses Omah Lay and Davido have officially joined forces on a new track that's already being hailed as a "game-changer" for the Afrobeats genre.
Titled "Fire in My Soul," the collaboration blends Omah Lay's signature melancholic melodies with Davido’s electrifying charisma, delivering a song that speaks to heartbreak, resilience, and raw human connection. Released under Sire/KeyQaad and DMW 2.0, the single dropped unexpectedly at midnight, accompanied by a cinematic visual directed by Nigeria’s own TG Omori.
A Long-Awaited Fusion
Rumors of a joint track between the two superstars have floated for over a year, sparked by cryptic Instagram stories and behind-the-scenes studio clips. But it wasn’t until last month—when the duo was spotted filming in Ghana—that fans knew something major was brewing.
“This isn’t just music—it’s emotion, it’s real-life pain turned into melody,” Omah Lay told Audoz Buzz in an exclusive interview. “Working with Davido took this song to another level.”
Davido echoed the sentiment in a voice note shared with fans: “Omah brought the fire. I just added fuel.”
Early Fan Reactions
Within hours of release, “Fire in My Soul” trended #1 on X (formerly Twitter) in Nigeria, Ghana, the UK, and parts of the U.S. Fans are praising the unlikely yet seamless blend of Davido’s vibrant vocal runs and Omah Lay’s introspective tone.
Music analyst and Afrobeats historian, Kenechukwu Iloanya, described the track as “a bold emotional pivot from both artists—a vulnerable, open letter to love and loss.”
What’s Next?
Sources close to both camps hint that this may not be a one-off. A joint EP is allegedly in early talks, with both artists eager to explore deeper sonic chemistry.
“Fire in My Soul” is now streaming on all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Audiomack. The music video already surpassed 1.2 million views on YouTube within 8 hours of release.
For the culture, for the charts, and for the hearts of millions—Omah Lay and Davido just made history.
