The song ‘Gobe’ has been released for barely 48 hours, but it’s managed to kick up quite a storm already.
Apparently, an upcoming artiste by the name of Password released the same song about two years ago; but the song couldn’t garner much attention. Davido re-worked the song.
Incase you missed that story Read Here
There’s nothing new about buying intellectual property.
What is new though, is that the song had previously been released.
Whether Davido was aware of this before he bought the song is unclear.
There doesn’t seem to be any animosity between the parties though.
Davido tweeted this afternoon; Big ups 2 @iamshizzi and @iam_password for such a great combination of work for GOBE! More stuff 2 come HKN!
Password was also very co-operative as he also tweeted in support; The song Gobe was officially replaced by @iam_davido hu co-wrote on d new version and I @iam-password is very happy and satisfied.
HKN in-house producer Shizzy, then said; Follow my gud friend @iam_password and thanx to him and d inspiration we all put into gobe! Cc”@iam_Davido.
Why would you say you knew nothing about Davido’s version. Then later come out to say you did.
Guess they both needed the hype!
