Davido Almost Signed CDQ To HKN Gang

The Indigenous rapper has gotten
quite some following in 2015, with
his starring role in hit song ‘Indomie’ ,
with rave reviews coming his way
from the media.
But all of this would have been a
different story, had he held on from
signing a deal with General Records,
the Nigerian music company owned
by hit maker, Masterkraft.
CDQ once got an offer of a record
deal with HKN, which he turned
down due to the binding terms of his
contract with Masterkraft.
“I got a text from Davido one
morning, and he was like we should
have a meeting.” CDQ told HipTV.
“So we set it up and he wanted me to
join HKN gang but unfortunately, I
already signed to General Records
owned by Masterkraft so we couldn’t
make it happen.”
CDQ was signed in 2013, after he
emerged the winner of a rap battle
at the popular weekly concert,
Industry Nite in December 2012. In
attendance that evening were
producers Masterkraft, Jay Sleek, and
Dokta Frabz. Masterkraft would go
on to offer him a contract.
