Why I gave Davido my song ‘Blow My Mind’ – Wurld
Nigerian artist Sadiq Onifade, popularly known as WurlD, has shed light on why he gave his song, ‘Blow My Mind,’ to Davido. He explained that he wrote the song, which Davido later released with American R&B star Chris Brown in 2019.
In a recent interview with 3Music TV in Accra, Ghana, WurlD clarified that he offered the song to Davido and Chris Brown because, at the time, it was a track he didn’t have a specific use for.
This gesture highlights the collaborative and supportive nature of the music industry, where artists sometimes share their work with others to bring it to a wider audience.
He said, “It [giving ‘Blow My Mind’ to Davido] wasn’t planned. I was in Lagos promoting my project, ‘Love Is Contagious’, and I got a call from my guy, producer Shizzi… It was even one of those things I didn’t plan for because I was gonna use the song myself. I wanted to get some features on the record, but I was promoting a new project, and I didn’t have time.
“I didn’t have a use for ‘Blow My Mind’ at that time. Davido and Chris Brown, it’s just a beautiful thing to lend my art with another artiste and at the same time and see how well the song is done.”
