DMW boss and Sony Music act Davido is
once again in the news. This time a reliable source according to Pulse
NG, has revealed that the lead single (Gbagbe Oshi) from Davido’s EP
“Son Of Mercy” was not originally written and owned by Davido.
The gist is that Davido bought the song
from veteran Nigerian dance hall artiste, General Pype. Story has it
that “Gbagbe Oshi” was written and performed by General Pype two years
ago during Industry Nite. The song was never officially released by
General Pype.
Davido and his team connected with the
dance hall artiste and bought the rights to the song. Buy price was put
at about over N1 million. Same song was re-recorded by Davido with
production input from Shizzi. “Gbagbe Oshi” has Davido attempting to
speak in patois for a few seconds into the song.
This kind of news is not new when
Davido’s artistry is put in perspective. We have heard him buy songs
from other artistes in the past. “Gobe” and “Aye” are some of his hit
songs bought from other artistes.
