Speaking on how his song ‘FEM’ became an anthem for the #EndSARS protest, the DMW boss said it was amazing to have his voice as an instrument to serve the people
He said, “I did not record that song thinking that was going to happen but it’s amazing how I saw my voice being an instrument for people, it was amazing, I got into a lot of trouble, I had to actually leave the country.
“It was that bad, but it was amazing to see people come out like that and I will say this, they listened, they heard us, they might not have changed anything but they were shocked. I see a lot of young future leaders coming out in the next general elections, things are going to change.”
Davido was one of the celebrities who was very vocal during the End SARS protest that rocked the nation in October 2020.
He didn’t just protest, he also helped secure the release of some of the protesters who had been arrested by the police authority.
