Nigerian singer and DMW signee, Tobechukwu Victor Okoh, widely known as Peruzzi, recently made a surprising revelation during a freestyle session in his studio. In the video, he boldly claimed to have written Davido's international hit track 'Unavailable.' This song, featured on Davido's latest album 'Timeless' and including collaboration with Musa Keys, has garnered an impressive 66 million views on YouTube and over 99 million plays on Spotify.
Peruzzi's creative influence in the music industry has been notable for a while. He previously disclosed that he played a pivotal role in penning another Davido hit, 'Risky,' which was released in 2019. During his freestyle, Peruzzi confidently stated, "Risky, but what do you expect when I wrote risky...When I wrote unavailable, I was still unavailable. I did it, though, and the outcomes are unbelievable."
This video has swiftly spread across various social media platforms, sparking both surprise and applause. Some questioned whether he was adequately compensated for his songwriting contributions, while others lauded his songwriting skills. Considering that Davido had previously credited him for his work on 'Unavailable,' some argued that Peruzzi's mention of his role in the video might have been unnecessary.
Here are a few comments from the post:
@ollamillekan: You can be a songwriter, but the question is, were you adequately compensated for it or not?
@CRAFTBOY: If he was paid, why is he saying this?
@Bigdreamz_Mfk: He subtly let you all know that he's the brains behind his boss's hit songs.
