Speaking on the Sony deal, Davido reveals that being with Sony and working according to their dictates distracted him from the kind of music he should be playing and at that point, he knew he wasn't himself hence his need to start calling the shots and going "Back to Basics"
“First, I had to stop making the music that they (SONY) wanted me to make,” he says, turning to me. “So I came back to Nigeria to record a couple of songs. That’s when I recorded ‘IF’ with Tekno”, ... “It’s funny. Until then, Tekno used to always tell me ‘David I get beat o, I get beat o.’ This life.”
On his relationship with Asa Asika, everyone knows they've really come a long way and although the interviewer revealed he couldn't get them to state what truly separated them, they both agreed the need to separate was mutual and it was a blessing in disguise that made them grow better individually so they can come back again to take over the industry which they are both doing with music.
