Dear Davido, I Am So Sorry. | By: Chris Ihidero
Dear Davido,
How are you today? Not too tired from last night’s performance, I hope? I’m sure you had a performance last night; you seem to have one every night these days. Pele. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown and, right now, you are the king of Nigerian Pop. I never thought the day would come when I would make that statement, but here we are and I shall repeat: You. Are.The. King. Of. Nigerian. Pop. Music.
I am sure you are wondering why I’m writing you a letter to state what’s pretty obvious to anyone who walks the streets of Lagos, goes clubbing or ventures near a party scene: Your music is on constant play. How did you do it ehn, David, how? See, when you came on the scene, I gave you zero chance of survival. I was so sure you were another excitable wannabe with an overdose of youthful exuberance, coming to foul the air with pathetic music fit only for numbskulls and bimbos, much like you. That’s what I thought and some three years later, here I am tendering my unreserved apologies for stupidity. How could I not have seen it?
How could I have lumped you with the one-hit-wonder crowd? How did I not know anything of your hard work and laser focus? How did I so quickly relegate you to the rubbish heap of Naija’s ‘jollof music’ when I have always argued that there was a place for ‘nonsense-making’ music in every society? See, I didn’t even think that you could succeed at making ‘disposable’ music. Ha!
Part of my problem, of course, was that your father has a lot of money. No, I am not envious. Yes, my father does not have a lot of money. Again, no; I do not want your father’s money. And yes, I was truly irritated when you came onto the scene because your father had a lot of money and you could bloody well buy a studio and croak into a microphone if you so desired. Being the child of a rich man has its drawbacks and one of them is that children of rich people are often seen through the prism of their parents’ money.
I saw you as another boy with a money-miss-road father who has failed at everything else and now wants to try his hand at music because, as a qualified loser with a sense of entitlement, you assumed anyone could sing. I judged you on first contact. Chai, I have been foolish! David, omo baba olowo, you will have to reach deep within your soul to find forgiveness for me.
Truth be told you can’t really sing, David. And you can’t really dance either. And your stage performances, the ones I saw, were like a dress rehearsal for a mini-area boys’ assault. You were all over the place like an eager monkey, prancing around the stage like an adulterous p***s. But who says a great voice is necessary for success in Pop music? Who says every Pop artiste has to be a Michael Jackson and moonwalk?
Fela didn’t have a great voice and could not dance to save his life, yet he made great music. And it isn’t as if you were claiming to be a nightingale. What people like me could not see in you was pretty obvious to the millions who appreciated your art: an art form’s essence is in its connection with an audience. What was it Mark Twain said again? “The public is the only critic whose opinion is worth anything at all”. Your ardent fans validate you and I-too-knows like me need to shut up and smell the agbalumo.
You are a bonafide Pop star, Davido. I finally accepted this reality recently on a drive from Lekki to Ikeja. It was around 11pm on a Friday and the DJ on Top Radio 90.9 was doing non-stop mixes of Nigerian music. It was shocking when I realised that one of your songs was played every five minutes. When did Davido make so many hits? Where was I when all this was happening? That was when I was informed of your hard work.
I was told how you spent almost a life-time in the studio while you were still in school. I was reliably informed that it is now possible to play an hour of your hits, whether solo or collaborations. I was made aware of how you have even changed the direction of your music with a song like Aye, infusing elements of Highlife music, in order to get everyone on the dance floor, no matter when or where it is played. Afterwards, they had to assist me in closing my mouth, which had been hanging open.
I shall now find a corner where I can eat this enormous humble pie.
Sincerely,
Your newest fan!

What role would you love to see him play? Davido makes Nollywood debut
What role would you love to see him Davido play? Star singer, David ‘Davido’ Adeleke has made his silver screen debut in the flick John Zerebe; courtesy his cousin and actor, Ike Ojoegwu. Don’t have details about the cast and crew or his particular role but he’ll sure fit in a gangster/bully or an aggressive lover role. I dunno. Just suggesting. No hard feelings.
Ike, who also doubles as the producer spoke about the singer’s interest in the movie. “Davido is quite delighted and very supportive on this project like he has always been. He wouldn’t put his hand in anything that doesn’t worth it or that would tarnish his image. I know how big he is and I don’t want to put a lot of pressure on him because of his busy schedule. It is his first appearance furthermore, the script is in such a way that he doesn’t over shadow the beauty of the script but however, adds his weight to the success of project.’

INTERVIEW: "NO ONE HAS TAKEN MY SPACE"- BIGIANO
Few years after releasing his hit song ‘Shayo’, Babalola Gabriels, popularly called Bigiano, who had been in near oblivion 4 d past 3 to 4years has resurfaced,he is back and better. Few weeks ago, he released 3 captivating singles and organized a promo/unveiling party all geared at heralding his huge comeback. In this interview, the Ogun-born artiste spoke on his break from music, his return as well as other upcoming projects.
(1) You have been away for so long, what have you been up to?
My being away was intentional. I decided to keep my brand away, restrategize then come back, I have been doing tours, recording songs and spending time with my families. I’m not a flash in the pan, I just took time off to work on my brand.
(2) So what are you bringing back? What new thing are you introducing to the Bigiano brand?
Well. There are lots of them, I’m working on my image, you can see I’m wearing a new look, the hair is gone. Then I have lots of motivational messages to offer to people.
(3) Motivational as in, are you now a motivational speaker or you’re reflecting it in your music?
It will reflect in my songs and I will be speaking out for the youths as well as the younger race out there.
(4) So what new singles are you working on, tell us briefly about them?
I have got three singles out there, “As e dey hot”, who’s that girl” and oh laa laa, their videos are dropping soon. I have recorded over 100 songs already, after then, I’ll drop the collabos.
(5) What record label are you working on?
My new record label is Goldspan Entertainment and stronghold Records is my international promoter.
(6) Can you mention some of the artistes you are collaborating with?
May D, Davido, Wizkid and many more
(7) What should Bigiano’s fans expect from him?
They should expect a brand new Bigiano, I’m going to be dishing them good songs and I’ll also be consistent.
(8) When are you releasing your next album?
Next year, late next year because, I’m taking my time to churn out the best. It’s something that my fans and people out there are going to appreciate.
(9) What’s your take on the Nigerian music industry now?
The industry is growing and making a lot of sense, we just hope the government will help structure the country as a whole, not only in music aspect.
(10) What keeps you going as an artiste?
My inspirations and my faith, i strongly believe in myself and confident enough to stand and break through anywhere
(11) Asides the release party and the singles what other avenues are you exploring to make your fans know that Bigiano is back?
They already know I am back, the unveiling and promo went a long way and is still on-going, my singles are there, I’m only waiting to drop the videos so they will know all over the world.
(12) The industry has become so competitive, going by the number of good artistes we now have, how prepared are you for the competition?
I can’t find any competition any where, I’ve not been intimidated by any kind of music for the past few years, I don’t think anyone can stand Bigiano out there, no one has ever taken my space in the last 3 years. Let every artiste do what they have to do and let me do what i know best. The sky is wide enough for birds to fly.
(13) What are your challenges as an artiste?
People have lots of misconceptions about me, its really sad. And then putting 100% trust in people and you later find out they are not what they claimed to be.
Another thing is people mistake being principled for being arrogant.
(14) Asides the artistes you’ve mentioned, which other artistes/ producers are you working with?
For producers, I have Shizzi, Young D, Cobhams, Ty mix and other big names, for artistes I’ve got Akon on oh la la remix, AkA in South Africa, Mikasa, Letoya and in Nigeria Eva, and many others.
(15) What’s with the Kuti added to your name?
Kuti is my brand/merchandise name. I have reasons for choosing it.
(16) Who are your musical influences?
I have lots of them. While growing up, I got inspired by great singers with beautiful, ever-green music. Sunny Okosun, Christy Igbokwe, Chris Okotie, Ebenezer Obey, King Sunny Ade, Fela Anikulapo kuti. On the foreign side, we have Whitney Houston, Micheal Jackson, Celine Dion, Kenny Rogers, Jim Reves, Erikabadu and many more.
