“The Time Will Come, E Go Pass Peter Own” — Davido Teases He Has His Own Label Wahala To Spill
Just when Nigerians thought the only major label drama on the table this season was the Okoye family’s P-Square saga, Davido has dropped a tweet suggesting he’s been sitting on his own explosive story and according to him, whenever he finally decides to talk, it’s going to make Peter Okoye’s situation look small.
What Davido Actually Said
Weighing in on the current wave of artists airing grievances against their labels and management, Davido admitted he’s been wanting to speak out too, but says it’s “Asa and bank” holding his mouth shut for now. He assured fans not to worry, insisting the time will come and when it does, whatever he has to say will surpass Peter Okoye’s own drama entirely.
The “Asa” reference is widely understood to point to Asa Asika, Davido’s long-serving manager, who has overseen much of his career and business dealings for years. Pairing that name with “bank” presumably referencing financial arrangements or obligations tied to his management and label structure suggests Davido is hinting at some kind of contractual or financial situation currently preventing him from speaking freely, whatever that situation may actually be.
Why This Is Landing Right Now
The timing here isn’t random. Davido has been unusually close to the ongoing P-Square saga in recent days he was seen mimicking Jude Okoye during an Instagram livestream on August 11, wearing a cap similar to the one Jude wore while publicly responding to his brother Peter’s allegations of financial impropriety. The clip split fans right down the middle, with some finding it hilarious and others accusing Davido of mocking a genuinely painful family dispute for laughs.
Against that backdrop, Davido’s new tweet reads almost like a direct callback to his own recent joke at Jude and Peter’s expense except this time, he’s positioning himself not as a bystander poking fun, but as someone who might have his own comparable story waiting in the wings.
Davido’s History With Label And Money Talk
This isn’t the first time Davido has been candid, publicly or semi-publicly, about the business side of his career. He’s previously acknowledged helping launch several other artists’ careers, and has openly discussed how DMW Davido Music Worldwide, the label he founded in 2016 — operates under his ownership. Whatever grievance he’s currently alluding to, fans are already speculating whether it concerns his own DMW roster, his broader business management, or something else entirely tied to how his career finances have been structured over the years.
Wahala Network Take
Nigerian entertainment fans have learned by now: when a major artist says “the time will come,” that’s not a maybe that’s a promise with a release date attached, even if nobody knows exactly when. Whether Davido’s eventual reveal genuinely surpasses the scale of the P-Square saga or turns out to be something smaller dressed up in big talk, one thing’s for sure the timeline will be watching closely whenever he finally decides to let it out.
