In a recent interview with Billboard’s Nadine Graham, DMW boss, Davido has declared that he is the leader of the Afrobeats genre globally without reservation.
Interrupting the interviewer who referred to him as leader of Afrobeats in the United States, saying he is leading “everywhere.”
However, Davido denounced this and declared himself the leader “Worldwide” and not just the in the United States. A controversial claim that is subjective and disputed by many.
Davido said as global leader of Afrobeats, he wants people to look forward to “Just Good Music.”
“And it’s crazy, because people in jail have heard my music,” he said.
The singer disclosed that he is currently working on two albums, explaining that one would be for the African audience and the other for the American audience so as to find balance between the two bases.
Equally revealing his best collaboration so far, Davido said it’s ‘2 AM’ with Casanova and Tory Lanez because the record bridged Canadian, Nigerian and American cultures, a feat he found incredible.
