Davido queried me when blogs claimed I wrote ‘Jowo’ – Victor AD
Victor AD, a Nigerian singer and songwriter, has addressed the rumors and speculation surrounding the claim that he wrote Davido’s hit song ‘Jowo.’ These rumors circulated on social media a few months ago.
Victor stated that when the news started spreading, Davido reached out to him with a query message to understand why he was being accused of stealing the song. Victor AD, however, denied any involvement in the rumors.
During a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Victor AD clarified that he did not write the song, refuting the widespread reports. He also emphasized that these false reports from blogs almost damaged his relationship with the DMW boss, Davido. This clarification provides insight into the situation and helps set the record straight regarding Victor AD’s involvement in ‘Jowo.’
Victor AD said: “From nowhere, someone speculating that Victor AD wrote [Davido’s] ‘Jowo.’ I’m not social media-savvy. Most times, before I notice happenings on social media, it would be two days after the matter has trended.
“My manager actually called my attention to the ‘Jowo’ controversy on social media but I didn’t take it seriously. Later on, I said let me just check the trend on social media. Then a few hours later, I saw Davido’s message. He was like, ‘Whatsup na? Wettin dey sup with this whole ‘Jowo’ thing?’. And I said I didn’t know anything about it.
“I told him that based on the love and respect I have for him I can’t do something that will tarnish his image. I’m not even the type of person that will claim what I’m not. Why would I be seeking credit for what I didn’t do?”
Shortly after the incident, Davido and Victor AD stopped following each other on social media, but it is not clear if there is still a rift between them.
