A father, Davido\u2019s strongest moments have come when he\u2019s gracefully wearing his family on his skin. One of the best songs\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Good Time\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is shaped from this premise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c1 Milli,\u201d co-written by Adekunle Kosoko (the Afro Highlife star popularly known as Adekunle Gold) flaunted Davido\u2019s knack for the outlandish.
