It is no more news that Nigerian Music is making huge wave in the world right now. The Afrobeat inspired sound has drawn the attention of top American artiste to Nigeria as we see them featuring in songs with our stars. The latest we have is RnB Legend, R Kelly doing a cover of Davido’s hit song ”If”. The Nigerian sensation shared a video of the song blasting from a car stereo on his Instagram page which shows London as his location. Few months back, he claimed his deal with Sony Music required him to change his style to something appealing to the international audience. This made him to struggle for a while untile he decided that it was best he remained true to his roots. He is glad it is all paying off now as he captioned the video in the below manner.

R.Kelly can never lose his steam. You need to watch YouTube videos. Lose his steam? You must be kidding me
My dear,don't mind that awon h8a. I've never seen a musician like R-kelly who traverses music genres so seamlessly and still maintains his uniqueness(he just has a signature influence on many genres). Who knows one day, we just might hear his voice on a core afrobeat jam or jazz fusion.lol

This is a great feat for Davido. I remember when 2face released a song claiming he did it with R Kelly. Few weeks later, it was discovered that he just took RKelly's voice from another song and infused it into his. That was the biggest lie of the year. What 2face couldn't achieve is what Davido got cheaply.

how do they remix if not voice remix?? Is Davido's remix diff from wht 2face did??

R kelly on his own is a human being who loves one thing or the other. some comment here about if this is real or manipulated or saying some hate word should remember that good music is not about all the beats but how sold you are into what you are doing. Davido well done dude... to say you change for sony music sake we no for hear from you again like dba... someone with koko in his name grin grin

I remember that track. It was titled "FLEX"..It was released in 2008.The song was in his UNSTOPPABLE album..

I heard Tubaba lifted a rip of R.Kelly's voice cut from Shaggy’s version of “Flex“ which coincidentally had the same beat and melody…

The moral lesson to learn here is that if you must steal, please be darn good at it.. cheesy

Smeggus and LifestyleTonite are you guys saying 2face is a * lipsrsealed* . So let's that blackface abi na yellowpalm was suggesting something we didn't know?

You guys sincerely need to educate yourself more or just shut up! Music is a universal language dosent matter how you speak it!

That said, I am happy for Davido because the more Nigerians we have on the international scene, the better!!

On R.Kellys last album, he feautured WiZKID. That is a greater feat. While I appreciate and love both davido and Wizkid it's just raw foolishness to compare the two.

Here in North America, Wizkid blasts on the radio all the time...he is the closest thing we have to a Grammy - it dosent matter how he gets there the key thing is in all his interviews he screams Africa likewise in his recent video. Like it or hate it, Wizkid dosent represent only Nigeria anymore.

Music makes you a global voice and your ability to keep staying relevant in the music scene is what makes you a true and great musician.

Word!!!

I read through all the comments...only one person was smart enough to know Davido's agent either pleaded or paid R.Kelly to do this version so that it will give the music more appeal and boost Davido's image..

Davido paid for R Kelly for this remix jor.
Dude has been Hating on the low since Drake remixed wizkid's Ojuelegba for free! While he had to pay MEEK Mill millions for a track that made no impact beyond the shores of 9ja!

Only sensible comment I read on this thread....
Re: R Kelly Remixed Davido’s Song ”IF” by Nobody: 9:13pm On May 12, 2017
R Kelly did a song titled IF over 12 years ago which was featured in his Happy People /You Saved Me album.
The first time time I heard Davido' IF, I compared it with the piped pipers own and I preferred Kelly's because it has more lyrical depth ( lets face it y'all, I would rather hear the piped pipers version over and over again than that crap from Davido's.
I would like you to download and listen carefully to R-Kelly's version an make comparisons.
That album is an Excellent R n B classic. Will you say the same thing for Davido's album 12 years from now?

what if it is the other way round? Davido heard the song from RKelly and "copied" the song. Can anyone confirm which one came out first? Davido's own abi Rkelly's own
The dumbest comment ever on NL.

R Kelly actually did a song titled "IF" from his Happy People / You Saved Me album way back in 2004

The two songs are miles apart when it comes to lyrical depth. If anyone doubts me, download R Kelly's song "IF" from the aforementioned album and compare

While Davido has gone back to his roots, Wizkid is busy changing his style to blend with the American style. He doesn't know that Americans hate it when you try to sell them their own idea. Maybe that's part of why drake didn't show up in Wizkid's video.
Why do you people like to talk trash
