Davido and producer Shizzy have exchanged words on social media over the production of Davido’s 2011 song “Dami Duro.”
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.”
