I’ll Never Do Anything To Tarnish Davido’s Reputation

Popular singer, Victor AD has come out to speak about the rumors that said he wrote Davido’s popular song, “Jowo.”

He recently had his say while speaking to the club, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he was shocked to see reports saying he claimed Davido had stolen the hit song from him in a studio session, especially because he never made such claims to anyone.

Victor added that based on the love and respect he has for Davido, he can never do anything to tarnish his reputation.

His words, “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.

My manager actually called my attention to the ‘Jowo’ controversy on social media but I didn’t take it seriously. Later on, I said let me just check the trend on social media. Then a few hours later, I saw Davido’s message. He was like, ‘Whatsup na? Wettin dey sup with this whole ‘Jowo’ thing?’. And I said I didn’t know anything about it.

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?”

WOW.
