In December 2023, Nkechi Blessing and Bakare Zhainab reached out to Davido, composing a song for him in hopes of receiving financial support.
Their initiative stemmed from witnessing Wizkid’s gesture of showering hypeman GOE with N20 million after the success of the “Tatata” song, where he praised him.
Inspired by this act, Nkechi Blessing and Bakare Zhainab sought to garner Davido’s attention through their musical tribute, hoping for a similar response of generosity.
