Davido explained that his team had already arrived at the location when they were informed that the original vixen could no longer appear in the video.
He said:
"The girl that was meant to be the main girl, she was in some pageant thing. So we were about to shoot and the manager said they called from the pageant that she's under contract and we can't use her for the video."
The singer added that the shoot could not be postponed, forcing the team to use the makeup artist instead.
He said:
"We couldn't reschedule so we had to use her makeup artist."
