  "summary": "Nigerian artist Wande Coal has publicly confronted fellow musician Davido over a viral verse from their collaborative track, 'Come My Way'. The controversy arose when Davido suggested that the unreleased verse might have been omitted due to creative differences. However, Wande Coal vehemently denied these claims, revealing in a post on his official X account that the song had already been strategically planned for release. He highlighted that the track had a predetermined release date and emphasized that he did not seek Davido's input in the decision-making process. Wande Coal's statement underscores his stance that the song's success was not contingent upon his collaboration with Davido, stating, \"Song wey no be your own you wan dictate release plan. That song fuckin did well without you on it bruv!!\"",
