Davido Discloses Role in Maleek Berry and Wizkid’s Collaborative Relationship.
Nigerian music sensation Davido revealed that he played a pivotal role in introducing renowned producer Maleek Berry to superstar Wizkid after he left home to pursue his musical ambitions.
Facing initial disapproval from his billionaire father, Deji Adeleke, Davido ventured to London, where he connected with Maleek Berry. This meeting laid the foundation for a productive collaboration with Wizkid, leading to the creation of several hit songs such as “The Matter,” “Love You,” “One Life,” “Outro,” and “New Bounce.”
Davido’s bold decision to follow his passion has not only fostered successful musical partnerships but has also served as an inspiration to many.

In another display of his hit-making prowess, Grammy nominee Davido has propelled the remix of the trending single “Ogechi” to the summit of the TurnTable Nigeria Top 100. This remix, which has enjoyed popularity on TikTok, was released on June 26, 2024, just a day after Davido’s much-publicized wedding.
During the chart week of June 28 to July 4, Brown Joel, Boypee, and Hyce’s “Ogechi” remix featuring Davido soared to the top of the TurnTable Nigeria Top 100, tallying 6.76 million on-demand streams and 49.3 million radio impressions, making it the most streamed and most played song on radio that week.
The “Ogechi” remix fended off competition from Burna Boy’s record-breaking single “Higher,” which settled for the second spot. Olamide’s “Metaverse,” from his new EP “Ikigai,” moved up 61 spots to No. 3, while Rema’s “Benin Boys,” featuring Shallipopi, and Central Cee’s “Wave,” featuring Asake, moved down to No. 4 and No. 5, respectively.
