So Davido Actually Bought the "Gobe" Song?

Since Davido's single track, Gobe hit the airwaves, it has topped the music charts, and has received massive air play in almost all the radio stations in the country.
However, it was speculated that Davido bought the song from a new artiste, Password. It was said in some quarters that Password released the Gobe song sometime in 2011 before selling it to Davido in 2013 for N350,000.

The Head Management of HKN, Davido's record label, Kamal Ajiboye said that Password approached them with the song and said he was sure Davido could do something good with it. When Davido heard the song, he modified it to suit his style.
He stressed that they never knew the song had been released before.

Kamal said, "Password is a friend to our producer Shizzle. He told Shizzle he had a song and Shizzle asked him to bring it. Shizzle told Davido to listen to the song and if he liked it, he could turn the song around.
"When Davido heard the song, he liked it. He removed something and added his own stuff to it. The guy never said the song had been released. If he did, we wouldn't have used the song. Maybe the song did not do well, that was why he brought it to us.

"We paid him N350,000 for the song. The beat was done by us; the job Davido did to the song was even more than what he did to the song."

Nice job by Davido though!!
