Davido brought this on himself – Samklef weighs in on dispute with Korty
He also claims that Davido needs to stop ‘playing victim.’
Nigerian music executive Samklef has weighed in on the dispute between YouTuber Korty and Davido over an unreleased interview and has told Korty to release the video.
Samklef took to X on October 27, 2024, to reply to a person’s post, which read, “The disrespect davido is getting is way too much sha, man just want to help people and that’s all.” In response, he questioned why Davido faced more criticisms than artistes like Olamide and suggested that Olamide has positively impacted more individuals than Davido,
He wrote, “Olamide has helped a lot of people than davido why are people not disrespecting him? Davido brought it to himself! This is what happens when you are always trying to look good in the eyes of everybody! You Dey help based on expectation! Based on control. I gat love for him; he just need to stop playing victim”
In a separate post, he urged Korty to post the video without the singer’s approval, stressing that he would stand up for her.
“If I be korty I go release the podcast. Dem force davido do the interview? Don’t let dem bully you. Samklef go fight for you. Wetin be her handle?” he asked.
Samklef’s post comes after Korty announced that she was going to release her interview with Davido, then announced that she couldn’t because the singer and his team did not allow her. She expressed her frustration regarding the fact that even after she re-edited the interview, the singer’s team refused to allow her to release it.
Her revelation soon promptly became the talk of social media, sparking reactions on X and launching her to the number one spot on the trending issues. However, she also faced backlash from many of the singer’s fans because she wrote, “I’ve filmed so many artists who eventually tell me not to post the video. if you don’t want people to see you for who you are, please do not come on my show. stop wasting my time.”
