Award winning Nigerian musician, Davido has revealed how he got the inspiration that led to his first hit song, ‘Dami Duro’.

Speaking during the third edition of Nigerian Entertainment Conference, on Wednesday, April 22 at the Eko Hotel and Suites, the ‘Aye’ singer, gave an insight about how his encounter with the Police inspired him to record the song, ‘Dami Duro’.
