Davido Reflects on His First Music Contract
Nigerian music star Davido recently shared insights about his initial music deal as he embarked on his career journey.
His comments were a reply to a tweet from industry colleague Tosin Ashafa, who revealed information about Davido’s first official contract.
Ashafa disclosed, “I signed @davido under Black Diamond Promotions with Cecil Hammond and another silent partner. We brought in @GodwinTom to manage him. Dr. Adeleke realized David was serious about his music career and subsequently contacted us to take over.”
In response, Davido expressed gratitude for the opportunity and mentioned that although the contract was favorable, his father wished for him to retain full ownership of his endeavors. He remarked, “Lmao I remember this day. Much respect to you guys for letting me walk! You were part of something truly remarkable!”
