Omah Lay made the disclosure during a recent podcast appearance, giving insight into his strategic decisions regarding high-profile partnerships following their successful previous work.
The two artists first collaborated on the hit track “With You,” a song that garnered significant airplay and positive reception from fans across the globe. Despite this proven success, Omah Lay explained that he had to make a tough choice when the opportunity for a second collaboration arose.
