When questioned by the interviewer if the music project he worked on with Davido while he was just starting out had any impact on his career, CKay acknowledged that the collaboration and the co-sign he received from OBO had a significant impact.
He said that he will always acknowledge Davido’s contribution to his accomplishment.
‘The collaboration with Davido was extremely important in my opinion because I feel like, at that time, I needed a co-sign from someone who was very established artist and Davido was more than happy to do that’, he said.
