Davido started 2017 on a dramatic note and the year has so far been quite dramatic, bumpy and most of all awesome for him.

For starters, OBO suffered a major hangover early in the year due to a frustrating spell in 2016 with global music giants Sony.

2016 wasn’t exactly the year for David Adeleke as the singer failed to pick up any awards due to an alleged creative battle with Sony Music.

1. Going Back To Basics

Right back to ‘17, the DMW honcho had learnt his lessons the hard way. He had struggled to do music with foreign appeal, hence he decided he was going back to basics, sticking with the African sound. That also meant changing a few things that were in anyway slowing down his growth. Kamal Ajiboye, his manager for four years received the axe as Davido cut him loose from his team. As expected Davido stirred up another ruckus by sacking Kamal and reinstating Asa Asika his first manager.

Getting back to the drawing board was inevitable because his career would have hit stalemate if something drastic was not done ASAP. He needed a lift.
