Spyro reveals that Davido’s manager Asa Asika stopped him from releasing the remix for ‘Billing’.
Spyro shares why he was stopped from dropping his collaboration with Davido
In a recent interview on Echo Room, Spyro shared that he had been preparing to release the remix of his hit single “Billing” featuring Davido, but was stopped from doing so before the song could drop.
According to Spyro, Davido’s manager, Asa Asika, intervened and halted the release of the remix. At the time, the four-time Grammy nominee had too many collaborations in the works and was also gearing up for the release of his new album.
“David was on the remix of ‘Billing’. We planned to drop it as the original, but some people blocked it from being released,” Spyro explained.
He also praised musician and blogger Tunde Ednut for playing a key role in facilitating the collaboration, mentioning that while he was reaching out to Davido, Tunde Ednut was doing the same to make it happen.
After being informed that the song couldn’t be released, Spyro said he visited Davido at his home to resolve the issue, but the situation didn’t change as some people were still opposed to the song’s release.
When asked about the reason behind the decision to hold off on the song, Spyro revealed it was due to the fact that he didn’t want to distribute the track through The Plug, a company owned by Tobi Mohammad, Bizzle Osikoya, and Davido’s manager.
