at the bank following an offer from another one when he got the call
from Davido – who had discovered him from an Instagram video he had done
of a piano cover of the Sony Music star’s song – The Money featuring Olamide.
He said, “I was planning on moving to another bank because i didn’t
like this one because the pay was not just it. The other bank was
offering more so i was planning on going there. The day i wrote my
resignation letter, was the day i got a call from him (Davido).”
