“He beats the others with quantity versus quality. So he had his method… Everybody has their method.”

Tekno shades Dammy Krane for calling out Davido over unpaid debt
Popular singer and producer Augustine Miles Kelechi, better known as Tekno, made headlines after he cast a shade at his colleague Dammy Krane for calling out DMW label boss Davido over an alleged unpaid debt.
In a call out on Twitter, Dammy Krane said he wrote the ‘hook’ of the song ‘Pere’ for Davido but never got paid, adding that he reached out to OBO a number of times to no avail.
While dragging Davido, Dammy Krane went on to tag Tekno and Kiddominant as he asked if they have gotten their payment for the service they rendered to the singer as well.
Tekno, in a shade that seems directed to Dammy Krane said it is those who don’t have money that call out people owing them in public, a statement that has left tongues wagging
