Nigerian singer and songwriter, Victor Adere known popularly as Victor AD has spoken up regarding what led to the rife between him and Davido.
Victor AD was rumoured to have written David Adeleke, or Davido’s smash song ‘Jowo.’ According to the reports, Victor AD claimed that Davido stole his hit song ‘Jowo’ from him during a studio session.
In a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, the Warri-born music singer emphasised that he did not write the song, contrary to popular belief.
Victor AD also said that as the news started spreading, Davido confronted him via DM, wondering why he would say such a thing, but he denied being behind the rumours.
False reports by bloggers, according to the musician, nearly destroyed his friendship with the DMW leader.
Victor AD said: “From nowhere, someone speculating that Victor AD wrote [Davido’s] ‘Jowo.’ I’m not social media-savvy. Most times, before I notice happenings on social media, it would be two days after the matter has trended.
I told him that based on the love and respect I have for him I can’t do something that will tarnish his image. I’m not even the type of person that will claim what I’m not. Why would I be seeking credit for what I didn’t do?”
It was shortly after the incident, Davido and Victor AD stopped following each other on social media, but it is not clear if there is still a rift between them.
