Chat pops up online to dispute Fido’s claims of self-discovery

• The singer made a bold declaration on his X, formerly Twitter, page on the popular social media platform.

Less than 24 hours after the rapidly emerging artist, Awosika Olayemi Josiah, widely recognized as Fido, issued a statement asserting that he was self-discovered, evidence has emerged online that challenges his assertion.

The artist took to his account on the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, to make this audacious claim.

Fido maintained that no one could rightfully assert that they discovered him, emphasizing that only God played that role. He further asserted that anyone making such a claim was misleading the public.

His statement read: “Nobody discovered me, na me discover myself. Anywhere you see say person talk say na dem discover me, na scam oo. Na God discover me, not man. No let them scam you oooooo. #OnlyGod is the key.”

However, shortly after his declaration, screenshots emerged online that contradicted Fido’s statements.

A person who seemed to have been significantly involved in Fido’s ascent shared comprehensive evidence, identifying those who purportedly discovered and supported the singer.

The message read: “Inner Circle discovered you, gave you a name, and built your brand. I personally convinced Bimbo to come on board. We pushed ‘Awolowo’ together in Bariga. Now you dare say we never invested in you? You talk about investors like you brought them yourself — investors who actually invested in the team.”

The person continued: “This guy claimed we took his money and didn’t spend on ‘Mr Lover’ marketing. He said we activated an option without his knowledge, yet baba was expecting an advance. How do you expect an advance without activating the option?”

“Honestly, I’m baffled how someone can be making progress yet still be haunted by the past. It’s wild. You just signed a major deal with Empire — congrats! But instead of rehashing old drama, focus on the future.”

“Fido, you have so much ahead of you. Channel your energy into that. All this back-and-forth feels unnecessary — unless, of course, it’s just a strategy to create buzz for your next release.”

“Inner Circle and Cidar played a huge role in shaping who you are today, Fido, and we’re still building on that foundation. Dxtiny and Kunmie are already proving that. Focus on greatness — there’s more to life than chasing attention and fame.”
