Songwriter and music artist Chidozie Godsfavour Ugochinyere, popularly known as Fave, has revealed how her collaboration with Afrobeats star Davido on the hit track Kante came about.
Speaking on The Nancy Isime Show, Fave explained that Davido reached out to her on Instagram after she had recorded the song months earlier.
“Well, I had already recorded this song before, like months before. Davido hit me up on Instagram and was like, I’m wrapping up my album and I would love you to be on it. And I don’t want it to be one of those songs where it’s like, even though it’s Davido featuring Fave, I still want it to feel like our song,” she said.
Fave added that Davido selected Kante after she sent him three songs to choose from.
“So I sent him three songs and he picked Kante,” she added.
The singer also spoke about her passion for writing, noting that she had always loved creating music despite her parents’ concerns about her education.
“And as a child growing up in an African home, I get it. I guess it’s true when you have like strict parents. We have very, very strict. Mommy, I’m sorry. My dad is very, very strict. So that’s why they kind of didn’t really let me, you know, like, should I say enhance my writing and singing abilities because they felt like, you know, this would distract you in school.
“But regardless, on my own, it’s something that I love to do. So I was always writing, like I would always have books upon books of poems or songs. So being an artist now, to me, I have to write deep. It’s just a part of me,” she said.
However, she noted that Kante was one of the few tracks she didn’t approach with deep lyrical content, as it was intended to be a danceable song.
“I think Kante is probably one of the songs that I wasn’t trying to be deep on. Because I just felt like ‘Na gbedu’, you don’t really need to put too much lyrics in it,” she added.
