This issue has sparked a flurry of reactions and discussions across social media platforms, with fans and observers alike weighing in on the matter.

Napji, the producer behind hit songs “Fem,” “Jowo,” and “Sunlight” from Davido’s “A Better Time” album, released in 2020, claims he was only paid a small advance fee for each of the songs.

He has since expressed his intention to seek royalties and publishing rights, which has led to a public exchange with Davido.

This reaction has elicited a range of reactions from fans and industry insiders, with some expressing disappointment at Davido’s approach, while others have come to his defense.

Twitter users have been quick to weigh in on the matter, with one user, @TheTifeFab, lamenting the ongoing issue, saying, “Since primary school, I never rest.
