Popular singer Victor AD has addressed the speculations surrounding his alleged involvement in writing Davido's hit song 'Jowo.'

A few months ago, a viral report on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that Victor AD accused Davido of "stealing" his hit song 'Jowo' during a studio session.

However, in a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, the singer, who hails from Warri, clarified that he did not write the song. He also mentioned that the rumors had almost damaged his relationship with Davido.

Victor AD said: “From nowhere, someone speculating that Victor AD wrote [Davido’s] ‘Jowo.’ I’m not social media-savvy. Most times, before I notice happenings on social media, it would be two days after the matter has trended.

“My manager actually called my attention to the ‘Jowo’ controversy on social media but I didn’t take it seriously. Later on, I said let me just check the trend on social media. Then a few hours later, I saw Davido’s message. He was like, ‘Whatsup na? Wettin dey sup with this whole ‘Jowo’ thing?’. And I said I didn’t know anything about it.

“I told him that based on the love and respect I have for him I can’t do something that will tarnish his image. I’m not even the type of person that will claim what I’m not. Why would I be seeking credit for what I didn’t do?”

Since the incident, Davido and Victor AD have unfollowed each other on social media platforms.

Their relationship has grown cold, with the collaboration on 'Tire You' being one of their earlier projects before the rumors emerged, suggesting that Victor AD accused Davido of song theft.
