Tekno was one of the biggest musicians in Nigeria in 2016 after dropping Rara, Pana, and Diana. In 2017, he lost his voice and couldn’t sing the songs he wrote.
He started contacting Davido to give him the song IF, which he had written and was planning to record. Davido did not take him serious and was busy clubbing. Tekno took out his time one day, went to the club and carried Davido to the studio to record the song and the rest was history!
After Davido recorded and released IF, it became one of the biggest hit songs in Afrobeats history!
When the video dropped, it became the first African song to hit 1 million Y0uTube views in 24 hours.
It became Davido’s first song to be certified RIAA Gold in the US and the first solo song by an African artist to surpass 100 million streams on Spotify!
Davido made over $10 million from royalties and sales of this song, and it literally placed him at the top of Afrobeats globally!
Till date, Davido still appreciates Tekno for changing his life with that song!
Tekno gave us hits that Afrobeats can never forget!
