Davido to Reclaim His Music Masters and Pass Royalties to His Children

Davido to Reclaim His Music Masters and Pass Royalties to His Children

Nigerian singer Davido says he plans to buy back his music masters from Sony before he retires. He made the announcement on The Long Form podcast, highlighting why ownership matters in the music industry. He intends to secure his original recordings so that each of his children can earn royalties from his songs long after he steps away from the spotlight. This strategy underlines his commitment to protecting his artistic legacy. Davido stressed that taking the business side of music seriously is essential for any artist who wants to maintain control over their work and ensure long-term financial benefits.

It's rare for major labels to give up masters so easily; Davido might face tough negotiations before ever reclaiming those recordings.

Sure, passing royalties to his children sounds poetic, but isn't this just another publicity stunt dressed up as business savvy?

If Davido secures ownership now, younger artists should follow that blueprint and invest in their masters early in their careers.
