DMW record label owner and singer, David Davido Adeleke, aka
Davido, has claimed he had to leave Nigeria, over his involvement in the
#EndSARS protests of October 2020.
Davido disclosed this while speaking with Trevor Noah on The
Daily Show.
According to him, one of his songs ‘Fem’ became the anthem
for the protests.
However, Davido insists he “did not record the song (Fem)
thinking the protest was going to happen.”
He, however, admitted it was an “amazing” experience
watching his voice become an “instrument” used to demand change.
Davido said: “I got into a lot of trouble. I had to actually
leave the country. It was that bad.
“I was reposting everything that had to do with the
campaign. It was amazing to see people come out like that.
“And I will say this: they listened to us. They heard us.
They might not have changed anything but they were shook.”
Davido released Fem after a long social media break in
response to his critics.
