It was said that Password had earlier released the same
song in 2011 before he sold it to Davido in 2013.
It’s learnt that Davido actually bought the song for N350,
000. OBO as he is popularly referred to did not know the song had been released
before.
The Head of Management of HKN, Davido’s record label,
Kamal Ajiboye, told Saturday Beats that Password approached them with the song
and said he was sure Davido could do something good with it. When Davido heard
the song, he modified it to suit his style.
He stressed that they never knew that the song had been
released before.
Kamal said, “Password is a friend to our producer, Shizze. He told Shizze he had a song and Shizze asked him to bring it. Shizze told Davido to listen to the song and if he liked it, he could turn the song around.
“When Davido heard the song, he liked it. He removed something and added his own stuff to it. The guy never said the song had been released. If he did, we wouldn’t have used the song. Maybe because the song did not do well, that was why he brought it to us.
“We paid him N350, 000 for the song. We did the beat; the job Davido did to the song was even more that what he did to the song.
