In a recent development in the Nigerian music scene, artist Wande Coal has countered Davido’s statements about why their anticipated collaboration remains unreleased, suggesting there’s more to the story than what has been shared.
This discourse was sparked by Davido during a podcast, where he shared his perspective on the collaboration. As per Davido’s narration, Wande Coal reached out to him, asking for a verse to enhance the song. He mentioned that he later learned of plans to debut the original track before unveiling a version that would include his remix contribution.
Davido said he was not comfortable with that arrangement because he had recorded his verse with the understanding that it would be part of the main song rather than a remix.
“I recorded the song, then he wanted to drop the song first and use my own verse for the remix, but I was like, no, because I didn’t record the song for a remix.”
He added that he believed his contribution to the record was particularly strong and expressed regret that the collaboration did not eventually see the light of day.
However, Wande Coal has now challenged Davido’s version of events.
Taking to X on Tuesday, August 18, the veteran singer appeared to question why Davido believed he could determine the release strategy for a song that belonged to him.
“Carry song come give you as how? Song wey been get release plan and date!!! Song wey no be your own you wan dictate release plan. That song did well without you on it bruv!!!”
Wande’s response suggests that the song already had a release plan and date before Davido’s involvement. He also maintained that the record was successful without the unreleased collaboration, making it clear that he did not believe Davido’s contribution was necessary for the song to perform well.
