A public spat has erupted on social media between Nigerian music stars Wande Coal and Davido, centering on an unreleased collaboration, 'Come My Way.' The disagreement spilled into the public eye after Davido shared his perspective during a podcast interview.

Davido alleged that the song was shelved due to creative differences regarding its release strategy. He explained that Wande Coal initially approached him for a feature, and after recording a verse, a conflict arose over Wande Coal's plan to release the original track first, followed by a remix incorporating Davido's part. Davido stated he did not write his verse with a remix in mind, leading to the collaboration's demise.

He further asserted that the track achieved success even without Davido's contribution, directly refuting claims that his release strategy was the sole reason for the collaboration's failure.
