Recall that during the #EndSARS protest in October 2020, one of Davido’s songs ‘FEM’ became the anthem for the protests.

However, Davido insists he “did not record the song (FEM) thinking the protest was going to happen.”

He, however, disclosed that it was an “amazing” experience watching his voice become an “instrument” used to demand change.

Davido said: “I got into a lot of trouble. I had to actually leave the country. It was that bad.

“I was reposting everything that had to do with the campaign. It was amazing to see people come out like that.

“And I will say this: they listened to us. They heard us. They might not have changed anything but they were shook.”

Recall that Davido released Fem after a long social media break in response to his critics.
