David has really changed ooo. He didn't insult this time around even when he clearly has good reasons to. Why call him ode?

modelmike7:

Writing is one talent and so is singing but in different perspectives. Advocating for song writers to entirely own their songs by singing them may not always be a success story. A clear example is that of Blackface( a talented writer to those who know him) and 2face (a good singer). Obviously, Blackface's "African Queen" doesn't measure up to 2face's version- same song, same lyrics.. And many other examples. Though some artists combine the both talents, like Ed Sheeran you mentioned, the late OJB Jezreel etc.
To the main topic, that fan doesn't know much about music, even great artists like MJ and R. Kelly had song writers.

AgencyReport:
A Twitter user, Katoma, had told Nigerian music star David Adeleke, alias Davido, to learn how to write his songs by himself instead of engaging the services of song writers, Igbere TV reports.

This was after Davido revealed that one of his favorite songs on his upcoming album was co-written by another artist, Adekunle Gold.

“One of my favorite songs on my upcoming album was Co written by @adekunleGOLD !!! Thanks for your touch on this ! God bless you brother #Agoodtime”, he wrote.

When told to learn how to write his songs by himself, Davido replied the Twitter user saying; “Maybe more artist should learn to tell the truth”, indirectly implying that most artist buy scripts too, but lie about it.

But another user snapped back at Davido, saying; “Ode that was a simple talk but instead you turn am to hate probably why they don't like you.”

Replying the user, yet again in a tweet sighted by Igbere TV, Davido said; “Who is they ?? Ur on ur own o”.

Awol1:
There are four persons that have had 100 entries on the Billboard Hot 100:-

Elvis Presley
Lil Wayne
Drake, and
Nicki Minaj.

Now, it is on record that Elvis Presley did not write any of his songs. All songs were written for him.

Gifts are different. Each of us with our own different gift.

Just Davido said, maybe other artists need to be more forthcoming with the truth.

In America, songwriters are given their full credits and are even included in Grammy nomination.

So, the illiterate ranter should shut the fvck up

pwansunriseteam:
Are you Davido, I heard he is on Nairaland. OBO are you hiding behind this monicker.

obentenyson:
and who is davidos Twitter handler? sigh

9jaRealist:
DUMB Nigerian “fans”
Many of the biggest global artistes don’t write their own songs (or all of them).

obentenyson:
Maybe If you have checked Davidos videos, you would have known whether he gave the writers of his songs credits or not.. there's always "written by" in every of His videos. he doesn't necessarily need to do that on Twitter. am sure the reason he did this for gold was to make Nigerians see that he and dekunle gold have quashed their beefs....

rentAcock:
Most musicians have song writers it's just the nature of the game. But I do wonder why the song writers don't just sing the songs they write and seek out sponsors to promote it. Ed Sheeran used to write songs for Tailor swift, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Hilary Duff and many others until he started singing his own songs. His song "Shape of You" is easily one of the highest watched videos on YouTube, and most of his songs top billboards worldwide

27Pushing30:
Vids are not credits Oga ...

SKGtalkof9jaboi:
Oga ..composing a song and the rendition is different from writing the lyrics.

obentenyson:
its never your business whether or not it was davido in the first place.. more over, you still have not proven who posted it. the handler could be davido.. until you can state who else did, then your opinion about whether or not davido posted it is irrelevant...

modik:
You mean if I say Lie, you say Lai na you Sabi?

Ijawwomaninoyo:
He is a Nairalander.

davillian:
I owe you nothing to prove.
May be you not that smart to detect when someone Else is replying you.

skukimania:
But he wasn't insulted on Nairaland now. I don't get your comment at all.

obentenyson:
yeah. you are so smart that you can't back up your claim with nothing but nothing.. smart indeed.. anyways, what's my biz, whether it was davido or not I don't care all I know is that the reply He gave that troll was a good reply..and if that reply is what's giving you ache on who posted it or not, then na your headache be that..

Ijawwomaninoyo:
That's how Nairalanders address people irrespective of your age and achievements before commenting.

alexvatt:
She does'nt write all her songs. Song writers write for her. Stop being ignorant. Ignorancy is a killer decease.
