Rapper Sinzu has been signed to Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), a music label owned by pop star Davido.
This was confirmed by a photo Davido posted to his Instagram story.
“New DMW Signee… Sinzuu,” he captioned the picture.
The ‘If’ singer had earlier on Monday tweeted that he would be announcing a new artiste to his label.
“Announcing my new artiste tonight in DC,” he wrote.

Sinzu, who was convicted for credit card fraud and identity theft in the US two years, had his first performance since his release from prison at Davido’s show in Washington DC over the weekend.
The rapper climbed on stage to perform his hit song ‘Carolina’ with Davido to the excitement of the crowd.
Twitter users are excited about the prospect of a Sinzu comeback and a possible collaboration with Davido.

If Davido signs Sauce Kid Sinzu, I might start to believe in the chance of Nigerian hiphop coming back. Sinzu has the mad skill, image, personality; with DMW behind him. We have the power move of the year!✊👌

At a time even fellow A-list rappers don’t sign rappers, at a time everyone is saying rap is unprofitable, Davido is about to use Sinzu to school the industry. Watch how everyone will start scrambling to sign rappers. If wizkid signs a rapper now, it will be an overload.

I remember when Sinzu had this to say about Davido performing Carolina somewhere. Look at how the tables turned.
Happy for both of them. I hope Sinzu gets back to making actual music. pic.twitter.com/pskZ6ytuWx

Beast unleashed

And to think that there was a huge disagreement between him and Sinzu sometimes around 2012 cos he performed ‘Carolina’ (he didn’t have too many songs of his own back then) in one of his shows in Canada without the consent/approval of Sinzu, and that one got mad, rightly so.

Davido is probably going to sign Sinzu to DMW tonight.
A complete lyricist who can make hot songs is a perfect addition.
Sinzu is Sinzu… 💫🔥

Sinzu, who also goes by the name Sauce Kid, has publicly confessed to the crime for which he served a two-year sentence in a US federal prison.
