The music video, uploaded on July 19, 2024, showcased Davido's deep love for his wife, Chioma, and her Igbo heritage through its lyrics and visuals.

Despite the song's excitement, recent developments have created a commotion online. The music video for "Ogechi Remix" was pulled from Davido's YouTube channel due to copyright accusations.

The song's audio is still available on BoyPee's official YouTube website, but the video is no longer available.

According to current knowledge, Davido is not credited as the official artist on the song's YouTube website, adding to the mystery.

The original version of "Ogechi," which BoyPee and his collaborators snag, appears to have been earlier composed by another artist before the remix.
