Victor AD, a popular singer, has finally addressed the ongoing rumors that he composed Davido’s hit song ‘Jowo.’ It would be recalled that a post that went viral on X (previously Twitter) a few months back stated that Victor AD claimed Davido “stole” his hit song ‘Jowo’ during a studio session. However, in a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, the Warri-born music singer emphasized that the song was not written by him. He claimed that the rumors nearly destroyed his friendship with Davido. Victor AD said: “From nowhere, someone speculating that Victor AD wrote [Davido’s] ‘Jowo.’ I’m not social media-savvy. Most times, before I notice happenings on social media, it would be two days after the matter has trended.

Later on, I said let me just check the trend on social media. Then a few hours later, I saw Davido’s message. He was like, ‘Whatsup na? Wettin dey sup with this whole ‘Jowo’ thing?’. And I said I didn’t know anything about it. “I told him that based on the love and respect I have for him I can’t do something that will tarnish his image. I’m not even the type of person that will claim what I’m not. Why would I be seeking credit for what I didn’t do?”
