How a Makeup Artist Became Davido’s ‘Aye’ Video Star After Pageant Queen Was Blocked — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Davido recently shared a behind-the-scenes story of his hit video ‘Aye’. A pageant beauty queen was originally set to lead the shoot. Her manager, however, said she was under contract and pulled her from the project. To avoid delays, Davido cast the pageant contestant’s makeup artist as the lead model. The unexpected choice instantly captured fans’ attention and sparked excitement online. Social media users flooded the comments with reactions. Many joked they’d never forgive a manager for missing such an opportunity. Others celebrated the makeup artist’s rise from behind the scenes to the spotlight. In a separate interview, Davido announced plans to pause his music career and pursue a Master’s degree in Political Science in the UK. His manager reflected on how he left school to chase his dream and has become one of Africa’s biggest stars.

It's interesting that the manager's contract clause could block the original star, but Davido found a backup so quickly.

Are we missing any reason the manager locked out the pageant winner instead of sorting it out?

I'm not sure swapping in a makeup artist on the fly really guarantees the same screen presence.
