    The exchange began after producer Sexy Steel claimed that the beat Davido made for “Dami Duro” was originally his. He said he had never spoken publicly about it but pointed to Davido’s previous comments about the song, including a recent appearance on Carter Efe’s stream.

    Davido responded by saying he began making the beat in August 2011 for Sexy Steel before Shizzy became involved.

    “Facts … 2011 August I actually started making the beat for Dami duro for sexy steel then Shizzi came over it was history …” Davido wrote.

    Shizzy then responded to Davido’s post with, “Distorted stories…🧢”

    Davido followed up by quoting Shizzy’s response and writing, “I know right! @shizzi We Co produced a Classic.”

    He also retweeted a 2011 post from Shizzy in which a user asked whether he produced “Dami Duro.” Shizzy had replied at the time, “Yes with davido!”

    Shizzy has since returned to the matter, writing, “Same Dami Duro wey I dey look all the files like this… ? 💻 Someone is not telling the full story…😂”

    “Dami Duro” was released in 2011 as part of Davido’s debut album, “Omo Baba Olowo.”

    Mavo has apologised for past tweets about Davido, Rema, Ayra Starr, Erica and other celebrities after the posts recently resurfaced online.

    One of the resurfaced tweets was posted in September 2020 while Erica was a contestant on Big Brother Naija. Mavo wrote, “I hate this Erica babe Fr fr.” After the post resurfaced, Erica quoted the tweet, replying, “Lol wow but you were nice to me when we met.”

    Mavo also previously described Ayra Starr as “mid.” The pair have since collaborated on the remix of Mavo’s breakout single “Escaladizzy.”

    Since breaking out in 2025, Mavo has also collaborated with Davido on “Nakupenda” and the remix of “Shakabulizzy.”

    Addressing his past criticism, Mavo said he was “a bad entertainment critic” when he started university and eventually stopped focusing on criticism to concentrate on his music.

    “My criticism sadly unfortunately & unintentionally hurt quite a number of people & i’m honestly sorry,” he wrote. Mavo added that he has met many of the people he previously criticised and found them to be “amazing people,” describing his earlier views as a “misjudgment.”

    He concluded his post with, “let love lead.”
