Davido recently shared a heartwarming story about a music producer who expressed gratitude by gifting him $20,000 after securing his publishing rights.
Also, the artist revealed this touching moment in a post on his Instagram story.
Also, he highlighted the significance of supporting creatives in the music industry.
According to Davido, the producer visited his home to personally thank him for playing a pivotal role in ensuring he received his publishing rights.
These rights allowed the producer to secure his rightful earnings from royalties for songs he contributed to.
Reflecting on the moment, Davido wrote:
“A certain producer/writer I started working with from Timeless finally got his publishing check. He came to my house, handed me $20,000, and said, ‘Baba, thank you.’ Happy to see there are still good people in this world! Being appreciated sure feels good! Love you, brother!”
While Davido did not disclose the name of the producer, several talented individuals contributed to the success of his Grammy-nominated album Timeless, which broke numerous records upon release.
This revelation sheds light on an ongoing issue in the music industry—non-payment of royalties to producers and songwriters.
Davido’s actions serve as a beacon of hope, demonstrating that artists, especially superstars, can and should advocate for fair treatment of all creatives involved in the production process.
As one of the most influential figures in African music for over a decade, Davido continues to inspire and uplift those around him.
