Davido ushers in ‘A Better Time’ on his brand new album.

Packed-to-the-brim with an all-star line-up of guests, the set features Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Young Thug, Lil Baby, Nas, and Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage.

However, we realize we were not considerate of certain cultural and religious perspectives and how this could be perceived as deeply offensive. Today, we’re releasing another cover from the shoot that was a subscriber exclusive.”

Later, the GRAMMY winner echoed their sentiment.  Look inside for her official statement:
