Peruzzi on getting used clothes as payment for writing Davido’s songs
Peruzzi Vibez, the renowned Nigerian singer, openly discussed the experience of receiving second-hand clothing as compensation for his songwriting collaboration with his former mentor, Davido.
During a recent interview with Isbae U on the Curiosity Made Me Ask podcast, Peruzzi addressed the ongoing rumors surrounding Davido allegedly remunerating him with previously worn garments.
Speculations arose regarding Davido’s method of rewarding Peruzzi for his songwriting contributions, suggesting that he had provided him with his pre-owned attire. Despite the seeming improbability of these rumors, they have persisted over the years, attracting attention.
“Is it true that when you write Davido’s songs, is it true that he pays you with ‘take this up and down, na once I don wear am’?” IsbaeU inquired.
Peruzzi chuckled in response and confirmed that such an incident had indeed taken place in the past, but emphasized that it was no longer the practice.
“I’m not going to lie to you, I bin dey run am like that before,” he stated.
Bae-U also inquired why Peruzzi tends to trend more on Twitter when he makes sarcastic remarks rather than when he releases music. Peruzzi explained that people appreciate and enjoy those sarcastic comments.
Regarding his songwriting for Davido, Peruzzi is the creative force behind many of Davido’s songs, having either written or co-written them.
