Davido has a growing roster of artistes on his DMW label and he would spend that much to get Simi. At the moment, it’ll be hard to write the story of Nigeria’s fastest rising female act, Simi without giving honourable mentions to the men in her life who are also pop stars; Falz and Adekunle Gold. But another player is entering the equation, and he has a lot of money to throw around. Remember Davido recently floated a new label DMW (Davido Music Worldwide) where he signed Danagog, Dammy Krane, Mayorkun, Ichaba and Dremo. He was guest on Beat FM recently where he was asked if he’ll consider signing a female act. His response was, ‘I don’t think I can handle a female artiste, but if I’m going to sign anybody, I’ll put a billion on SIMI.’ Simi, who is currently signed to the Steve Babaeko-led X3M Music, is the only Nigerian artiste featured on Davido’s latest EP Son Of Mercy.

We made known our fears that Fani-Kayode’s life was in dire danger as long as he remained in EFCC custody or in the custody of any agency of the federal government based on discreet information available to us. This is apart from the fact that his health has been badly affected since his incarceration for a whopping 67 days based on some questionable ‘detention orders’.
