Davido begged to be on ‘Baddest Boy’ remix – Skiibii claims he’s never asked any artiste for features.
Nigerian singer, Abbey Toyyib Elias, popularly known as Skiibii, has set the record straight by revealing that he has never asked any artist for features, dispelling the misconception that he begged Davido to collaborate on his song.
According to Skiibii, it was actually the DMW boss, Davido, who reached out to him via Instagram DM to express interest in jumping on the remix of Skiibii’s hit song, “Baddest Boy.” This revelation was made during an interview with Kim Oprah on Hip TV’s “Trending.”
Skiibii further emphasized that he has never requested features from any of his fellow artists. He discussed his collaborations with Kizz Daniel and Reekado Banks, explaining the reasons that led to his decision to work with them.
Furthermore, he disclosed that Canadian rapper Tory Lanez expressed interest in being featured in one of his songs and that he did not initiate contact with the international star. This sheds light on the way collaborations in the music industry often come about through mutual interest and connections.
Skiibii said: “I don’t call other artistes to do collaboration. It’s not my style. From Olamide, he wanted a collaboration with me. He asked for us to do a song together, and I obliged. The song with Olamide was my first music video to garner one million views on YouTube.
“My collaboration with Reekado Banks was because we were friends. We’ve got to have a relationship between us before we work. I don’t just work with anybody. So, I and Reeky were very close friends. We did ‘Sensima.’ Before that one, we already did a song together titled ‘London.’
“I collaborated with Kizz Daniel too. He is my close friend; everybody knows that. My collaboration with Davido happened after he messaged me on Instagram that he would like to jump on the remix of my song ‘Baddest Boy’.”
