Legit.ng reported that Davido lost his friend Tiny in March after he suffered a heart attack.

Speaking about the deceased, the DMW label boss stated that it was not easy when someone like Tiny passed away, adding that his absence would be deeply felt because of the kind of personality he had.

According to Davido, Tiny was full of energy and presence. He also said he never thought he would speak about Tiny in the past tense.

“I won’t lie, it is not easy when someone like Tiny leaves. His absence is heavy; it doesn’t feel real. A man of so much energy, so much presence. The silence is heavy. He is not someone I ever thought I would be speaking about in the past tense," he said.
