Davido brought this on himself – Samklef weighs in on dispute with Korty
Popular music producer Samklef has shared his perspective on why Davido continues to face disrespect despite his generosity.
He weighed in on the recent dispute between YouTuber Korty and Davido concerning an unreleased interview, urging Korty to release the video.
On October 27, 2024, Samklef took to X to respond to a comment that highlighted the disrespect directed at Davido, noting, “The disrespect davido is getting is way too much sha, man just want to help people and that’s all.”
In his reply, he questioned why Davido receives more criticism than other artists like Olamide, suggesting that Olamide has positively impacted more lives than Davido.
Samklef wrote, “Olamide has helped a lot of people more than Davido; why are people not disrespecting him? Davido brought it upon himself! This is what happens when you always try to look good in everyone’s eyes! You help based on expectations! I have love for him; he just needs to stop playing the victim.”

In a separate post, he encouraged Korty to publish the interview without seeking Davido’s approval, emphasizing his support for her.
He stated, “If I were Korty, I would release the podcast. Did they force Davido to do the interview? Don’t let them bully you. Samklef will fight for you. What’s her handle?”

This commentary follows Korty’s announcement that she intended to release her interview with Davido, only to later reveal that the singer and his team had not granted permission.
She expressed her frustration over their refusal, despite her re-editing of the footage.
Her situation quickly gained traction on social media, making her a trending topic.
However, she also faced criticism from many of Davido’s fans after she expressed that numerous artists have asked her not to post their interviews, saying, “I’ve filmed so many artists who eventually tell me not to post the video. if you don’t want people to see you for who you are, please do not come on my show. stop wasting my time.”
