Davido’s lawyer, Prince Ajudua has also confirmed that “Jowo” was written by Davido and Oladeinde Okubajo.
His statement read:
“As far as I know, Jowo was performed by Davido, written by David Adeleke & Oladeinde Okubajo aka @Davido & @Deindeofficial and prod by Jerry Jethro & Peter A. Kehinde Emmanuel aka Napji & Majicboi. That’s as far as I know. Don’t shoot me I’m just the guy that did the paperwork.
