It is no longer news that David Adeleke, aka ‘Davido’, has been the talk
of the town for sometime now. The HKN boss has taken his career a notch
higher by signing a deal with Sony BMG Music. The 23-year-old
millionaire announced this news himself on his twitter handle on
Thursday.
He tweeted “to all those that doubted me, its a done deal! First
African artist to sign a global record deal!! My story is just
starting!! My mother is smiling in heaven right now!! Sony Music
Entertainment!! Owo ti wole.” Davido sounds very elated about this new
development in his musical career because the deal seems to be a
promising one.
On the other hand, reactions have begun to trail his announcement.
Some people are happy for the young and enterprising artiste while some
feel very pessimistic about this development. Sesan Adeniji, publisher
of Mystreetz Magazine seems to be very pessimistic about this deal.
Here is what he has to say about it
“In this present moment, every
news that is related to Davido will always make the headline. For
Davido, any news that is far from his Baby Mama drama is a perfect
distraction that is welcome and the news of his deal with Sony Music
came at the perfect time. The announcement has been made and the
23-year-old star has just signed a lucrative deal with Sony BMG Music
for a whooping $1 Million.
As much as this news continue to attract media frenzy, I, for one
will not be joining this bandwagon without asking the nagging question,
is this the real deal or the same Ol’ story?I won’t forget when P-square
and some other Nigerian artistes came through with same news without
proper details and information to backup their claims. Without throwing
shades at any of these artistes, most of this deals have been sketchy.
The media need to grow up, they need to stop jumping on news as if their
whole life depends on it. They need to thoroughly investigate all this
information to be able to feed their audience with adequate news."
Congrats to Davido. We wish you all the best in your career,and we say you should keep repping 9ja..
As for them hating Nigerians. I say; "try to be happy for each other. Enough with the hate!!!"
