Davido’s legal and business reps at BFA and Co shared: “We are thrilled to have advised and finalized @Davido's Multi Million Dollar contract extension with @Sonymusic. We are proud to be part of this historic moment. #davido #timeless #sonymusic.”
Over the weekend, Davido joined the HotSpotATL podcast and shared how “Unavailable” came about.
“Every album I like to have one viral record, and have like a challenge, and I always say everytime I’m in the studio and a producer is like ‘what should we talk about?’ I’m like let’s talk about anything that will make a woman feel good, that’s the money.”
