“I am Napji, the producer behind Fem, Jowo, and Sunlight on @davido album (A better time), which was released on 13th November 2020.
I was paid an advance of 500 thousand naira for each of the songs. I will be releasing more information as I seek to collect my royalties & publishing”.

Taking to his Instagram comment section and his Twitter page, Davido responded to him with “Your papa”.

Over the past year, Davido has been called out by several people over unpaid debts.

The Former NFF president, Amaju Pinnick had publicly called out the singer for reneging his contract. He filed a lawsuit against the singer, seeking N2.3 billion in damages and an injunction to prevent Davido from performing at any show or event in Nigeria until he refunded the payment he received.

Early this year, the singer had agreed to settle the dispute out of court and had agreed to pay N30 million to Amaju.

A Nigerian photographer and businessman, Abu Salami had also called him out for reneging on a contract worth millions. He claimed that Davido had refused to refund him and had bullied him by sending thugs to him.

To add to the list, Nigerian Tribal model, Adetutu Alabi had accused the singer of owing her after featuring in his music video. She narrated her encounter with him and what transpired between them, as she pleaded with the singer to pay her money.
