Why I chose 2Baba over Davido

Slimcase was a guest at Naija Info FM, where he recounted details about his song Azaman. Initially, he wanted Simi on the song, but their genres didn't align.

Then he mentioned how he heard Peruzzi's joint track with 2Baba and fell in love with it. He said he had wanted to do a song with 2Baba for the longest time.

Slimcase, who earlier shared why his song with Wizkid is not out yet, added that he had been a fan of Innocent Idibia since the days of Plantashun Boiz.

In a turn of events, Peruzzi sent his vocals for Azaman to Davido, who also loved and wanted to be on the song.

However, his love for 2Baba overshadowed having Davido as a guest feature on Azaman, so he chose the veteran singer over OBO.

He concluded with claims that he would fully tattoo 2Baba all over his body if he had a chance.

Slimcase didn't disrespect Davido - Basito

Ace Nigerian Music PR Strategist Oyekola Abdulbaasit aka Basito shared his opinions in a chat with Legit.ng. According to him, it is almost impossible not to love a legend like Innocent Idibia, professionally known as 2Baba.

"There is nothing bad in what he said, he never disrespected Davido and it’s a no brainer to have love 2baba more than Davido cos 2Baba has been in the game longer than Davido", he said.
