Recall, Davido opened up about the inspiration behind his playful new single, ’10 Kilo’, during an interview on The Ebro Show.
The hitmaker explained that the track was created to empower women with fuller figures, encouraging them to embrace their bodies with confidence.
“The song is about being comfortable in your skin… It has a comedic side to it, but that’s a typical Davido record. Afro-Caribbean R&B. That’s what I do,” he shared with Ebro, emphasizing the fun and light-hearted nature of the song.
