Davido’s long-time manager, Asa Asika has not held back on how he feels collaborations works between artistes in Nigeria and its difference from the Latin music world,
According to the music executive, having all the big artistes on a single track is not the best option.
He said this in a new interview with Ventes Rap, a French news website.
He said: “The Latin artistes, they collaborate way more than the Nigerian artistes, and that’s the thing. ‘Cause Spanish is the second most spoken language in America, so they are forcing it down your throat. You can have one song that has Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Ozuna all on the same record,”
“You probably will never get a song that has Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Asake on one song. That is not really Afrobeats style,”
Asa did however, admit that there are big collaborations in Nigerian music industry but not as much as the Latin music industry.
“There are big collaborations. Burna Boy and Wizkid have a song. David and Kizz Daniel have a song. Davido and Olamide have a song. Asake is on David’s album. They work. Like the big artistes in Nigeria work,”
“They might not collaborate as often, but they definitely do. Collaboration is one of the major things that have pushed Afrobeats to where it is,” he said.
