Davido Opens Up About Aye Music Video Casting
Afrobeats superstar Davido has shared an intriguing story about how he met and cast the female video vixen for his popular hit song Aye, which was released 12 years ago. Speaking on CapitalXtra, the singer revealed that the original lead actress was unable to participate due to contractual obligations with a pageant.
Last-Minute Change to Makeup Artist
According to Davido, the girl originally slated to be the lead in the music video was involved in a pageant. Just as the shoot was about to begin, her manager called to inform the team that the pageant organizers had reminded them she was under contract, so they could not use her. As a result, the production team ended up using her makeup artist as the replacement vixen.
Fallout After Video Success
Davido noted that when the music video for Aye became a massive hit, the two women—the original lead and the makeup artist—reportedly fell out. However, he later left a comment clarifying that the friends never actually fell out. The singer did not provide further details about the relationship between the two individuals.

The story has sparked reactions from fans and followers, with many expressing surprise at the behind-the-scenes drama. The video of Davido narrating the incident has been widely shared on social media, including on Linda Ikeji's blog. Watch the video below for the full account.
