Don Jazzy wrote “Dear artists, I hope you can see how Davido is marketing his album. He didn’t form oh I’m OBO so everybody will cop my shit. Marketing your beautiful project that you worked hard on does not reduce your swag.”
Davido on March 31 released his new album after months of being away from social media and the public light.
For his album promotion, Davido has had interviews with numerous media in Nigeria, CNN, BBC Xtra 1 and other media across US and UK.
