Kate Henshaw clarifies calling out Davido for not greeting her

Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has explained why she spoke about Davido not greeting her at a previous event, stressing that she was simply answering a question.

During a recent appearance on Isbae U’s show, Curiousity Made Me Ask, the actress was asked, “Sorry, why did you go to an interview to report Davido because he didn’t greet you?”

Appalled by the question, Kate Henshaw stressed that she did not report the singer to anyone.

She retorted, “I was asked a question, and I answered it. I didn’t report anybody; I responded to the question. What is ‘report?’ What does report mean?”

“They asked about the person, and I was speaking about the knowledge and interaction that I had. I didn’t report, and we even had a conversation after that, so it’s really none of your business. That’s what you people do; you look for strife,” she added.

Shortly after her statement, Isbae U brought in a Davido lookalike to prostrate in front of her and apologise for the singer’s shortcomings.

This comes after Henshaw revealed that she was not a fan of Davido during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo in December 2023. At the time, she recalled an occasion where she met the singer, but he did not acknowledge her presence.

When asked about Davido, Kate Henshaw said, “Well, I’m not a fan. I like his music, but personally, I don’t know him. I’ve met him; he didn’t greet me. I’m sorry. No, I’m not sorry. I’m old enough. He didn’t greet, and for me, I believe he should be respectful. For me, personality matters.”

Dammy Krane reacts as Kwam 1 asks him, Davido to end rift

Dammy Krane has reacted to calls from Wasiu Ayinde, the Fuji singer fondly called Kwam 1, to end his online rift with Davido.

The feud between Krane and Davido started last year after the former called out the latter over alleged debt.

Krane said the ‘Timeless’ hitmaker refused to pay him for his songwriting contribution to a song. He also accused Davido of “ruining” his record label deal with Sony Music.

Reacting to Krane’s allegations, Davido described his colleague as “ungrateful”.

Davido said he “never got paid” for his music collaborations with Krane. He also claimed that he “housed and fed” the singer when he was “homeless”.

Since then, Krane has continued to attack Davido on social media; even accusing him of being involved in the death of his friend Tagbo Umeike.

Umeike died from alleged alcohol poisoning in October 2017 after his birthday party at Shisha Lounge in Lekki, Lagos state.

Davido previously dismissed claims that he had a hand in his friend’s death. He also threatened to sue Krane for “defamation of character and cyberbullying”.

Krane, however, continued to call out Davido — despite the legal threat.

Weighing in on the ongoing feud during a live performance while on his musical tour in the United States, Kwam 1 called for peace between the two singer.

“I want to send you on an errand. Dammy Krane there should not any fight again,” Ayinde sings.

“Whatever it is that is there should be resolved. I have stamped it. I must not hear anything about it again. You will not bury your child.

“You guys will not also die in my eyes. Your prayers will be answered. I have also told David to forgive all issues.”

Reacting to the Fuji icon’s appeal, Krane said he will no longer call out Davido over Umeike’s demise.

Krane, however, stressed that Davido should pay for his songwriting service.

“SO Davido SETUP A MEETING WIT MY MUM IN YANKEE LOL. I UNDERSTAND ALL,” he wrote on X.

“I’LL LEAVE D TAGBO MATTER TO GOD BECAUSE OF GOOD PEOPLE LIKE FAMILY ,K1 DE ULTIMATE..

“BUT DAVID PAY FOR THE SONG I WROTE & ROYALTIES

“PS: EVIL PREVAIL WHEN GOOD PEOPLE REFUSE TO TALK – INDUSTRY LANDLORD.”

Burna Boy kicks as Davido’s signee Logos Olori claims he uses songwriters

Published

Burna Boy has dismissed a claim by Logos Olori, the fast-rising singer signed to Davido’s music label, that he uses songwriters.

In a recent interview with City 105.1 FM, Olori argued that most big names in the music industry employ songwriters because of their busy schedules.

He also suggested that the “Big Three” — Davido Wizkid, and Burna Boy — occasionally hire music creators.

“Most people that shame artists for using songwriters don’t know much about the music business,” he said.

“As a musician, you tend to write your songs most times when you are up-and-coming. When you’ve 10 shows in a week in different countries, you’ll understand that you need a songwriter.

“Chris Brown has a songwriter, Michael Jackson had a songwriter. Davido is currently on tour immediately after his wedding. He writes his songs sometimes but most times he has to do the business part of it.

“That’s how Burna Boy is, that’s how most artists are even Wizkid but they don’t just put it out there but if you go to Spotify to check for the credits of their songs, you will see that they use songwriters as well.”

However, the self-proclaimed ‘African Giant’ took to his X page to argue that he does not employ the services of music creators.

The Afro-fusion singer maintained that names credited as songwriters on his songs are the producers due to western music policies.

“Any name you see credited on my songs are only producers of the songs or featured artists not writers,” he wrote.

“But for some reason the western world considers producers as writers of the instrumentals and they just throw their names on there as writers. Nobody fit write for Odogwu.”

In 2020, the singer admitted he hired the services of songwriter Peruzzi — but on one occasion.
