Bigiano Claims He Wrote Davido’s ‘Dami Duro’ Hook

Bigiano has reignited intense debate within the Nigerian music industry after he claimed he wrote Davido’s “Dami Duro” hook.  Bigiano revealed this during a recent interview, laying claims to the iconic hook of Davido’s breakout song. The revelation spread like wildfire across social media, triggering reactions from fans, creatives, and industry insiders.

Originally released in 2011, “Dami Duro” appeared on Davido’s debut album “Omo Baba Olowo.” While official records credit Davido as the sole songwriter, alongside Shizzi as co-producer, Bigiano’s statement now challenges a long-standing narrative tied to the song’s success.

However, Bigiano framed his statement as a reflection rather than a confrontation. He explained that early industry politics often sidelined emerging writers. He described the era as one where recognition rarely matched contribution.

According to him, many creatives helped shape defining hits without proper acknowledgment. Meanwhile, Davido has not responded publicly to the claim. His silence has fueled speculation and debate online. Some fans defended Davido, pointing to documented credits and long-standing industry standards.

Others argued that uncredited contributions remain common in early Afrobeats history. The discussion continues to divide opinion across platforms. It has also revived conversations about songwriting transparency in Nigerian music. Pundits noted that many early hits emerged from informal studio collaborations. Credits often depended on power dynamics rather than creative input.

Beyond the claim, Bigiano also shared personal career ambitions. He revealed renewed focus on music creation and international recognition. He openly spoke about aiming for Grammy consideration with upcoming projects. Fans welcomed his return, recalling his past hits like “Shayo” and “Sambisa.”

Ultimately, the “Dami Duro” hook claim represents more than a single dispute. It highlights some of the loopholes during the early days of Afrobeats. Whether Davido responds or not, the conversation has already reshaped public memory. Would you prefer Davido to respond or stay silent? Let us know in the comments.
