BoyPee describes Davido as a “godfather” figure who has influenced his career.
Nigerian artist BoyPee has opened up about his relationship with Davido, describing the Afrobeats heavyweight as a “godfather” figure whose influence extends beyond music. During the conversation, BoyPee also addressed claims surrounding their collaboration, particularly allegations about copyright and money. He insisted that Davido supported the project without charging for his contribution.
According to BoyPee, he has learned important lessons about music, career management and personal branding by watching Davido work. Although they have not always spoken frequently, BoyPee says Davido’s personality and work ethic have taught him valuable lessons about navigating the industry.
Furthermore, BoyPee described Davido’s support as more than a standard artist collaboration. He explained that Davido did not charge for the feature. He also claimed that the Afrobeats star paid for the music video production.
Consequently, BoyPee used the conversation to address speculation about financial disagreements and copyright issues surrounding the collaboration. He maintained that Davido offered his support freely.
The comments also highlight the growing conversation around mentorship in Nigerian music. Established artists often influence emerging acts through collaborations, industry access and professional guidance.
In BoyPee’s case, however, he says Davido’s impact goes beyond direct mentorship. Instead, he has learned by observing how the superstar conducts himself, builds his brand and approaches his career.
That perspective gives the collaboration another layer. Rather than presenting the relationship solely as a feature between two artists, BoyPee describes it as an experience that has influenced his understanding of the music business.
BoyPee opens up about Davido’s support for their music collaboration.
The collaboration has attracted attention because BoyPee’s account challenges some of the financial narratives surrounding celebrity features. However, MAX FM will treat those claims as BoyPee’s account and will not present unverified online speculation as fact.
For the Nigerian music industry, the conversation highlights the value of collaboration and support between established and emerging artists. More importantly, it shows how an artist can learn from another star’s career without relying solely on formal mentorship.
Davido’s influence also reflects the wider evolution of Afrobeats. Nigerian artists now operate within an increasingly global music industry. As a result, branding, collaborations and international visibility have become important parts of career development.
For now, BoyPee’s comments have shifted attention back to the music and the relationship behind the collaboration. Meanwhile, his account adds another perspective to the ongoing conversation about artist collaborations and industry support.
