  "account": "Nigerian musician Skales recounted a story that Burna Boy had to plead with Davido to join him on a private jet to Yola for a performance. The jet was reportedly so crowded that someone had to sit on the toilet seat due to lack of space. Skales explained that Burna Boy reached out to Davido to ask for a spot on the jet, to which Davido agreed. However, being already packed, Davido had to ask one of his team members to travel on the following day. During the flight, Davido even gave up his seat to Skales. Skales further shared that after landing in Yola, he performed alongside Burna Boy, and this encounter eventually led him to collaborate with Major Lazer, leading to his music career.",
