Davido’s “Gbagbe Oshi” Was Bought For Over N1 Million

News according to Pulse NG is that the
lead single “Gbagbe Oshi” off Davido’s
EP “Son Of Mercy ” was bought from
veteran dance hall artiste “General
Pype”.
DMW boss and Sony Music act Davido is
once again in the news. This time a
reliable source according to Pulse NG,
has revealed that the lead single (Gbagbe
Oshi) from Davido’s EP “Son Of Mercy”
was not originally written and owned by
Davido.
The gist is that Davido bought the song
from veteran Nigerian dance hall artiste,
General Pype. Story has it that “Gbagbe
Oshi” was written and performed by
General Pype two years ago during
Industry Nite. The song was never
officially released by General Pype.
Davido and his team connected with the
dance hall artiste and bought the rights
to the song. Buy price was put at about
over N1 million. Same song was re-
recorded by Davido with production
input from Shizzi. “Gbagbe Oshi” has
Davido attempting to speak in patois for
a few seconds into the song.
This kind of news is not new when
Davido’s artistry is put in perspective.
We have heard him buy songs from
other artistes in the past. “Gobe” and
“Aye” are some of his hit songs bought
from other artistes.
