Nigerian artist David Adeleke, known as Davido, has spoken on the global surge of the afrobeats genre.
During a Hiptv panel discussion with the United States Advisory Council on Africa Diaspora Engagement and Leaders In Nigeria’s Creative Industries, Davido remarked that afrobeats artists are now selling the same tickets as pop and hip-hop musicians such as Drake.
He stated that earnings from an afrobeats single can translate into generational wealth.
“Afrobeats artists sell the same tickets as Drake. Now, as an afrobeat artist, one song can change your generation,” he stated.
Davido advised young musicians to collaborate with themselves rather than pursue foreign features, stating that “when you collaborate with your friends, they put their all.”
In other news, Lady T, a renowned podcaster, has openly said that she intends to sideline Chioma Adeleke if celebrity musician Davido asks her to be his side chic.
This happened days after the podcaster revealed that she prefers to date married men but has no intention of marrying them.
Lady T mentioned on a recent episode of the Honest Bunch Podcast that Davido may make a pass on her. She stressed how she would discreetly enjoy intercourse with the singer while keeping their connection and relationship private.
Speaking about the singer’s wife Chioma Adeleke, she stated that her status would remain untampered as she is against switching roles as a full housewife.
“A lot of people that are single cannot provide like those that are married. If Davido comes for me, nobody is going to know about it, I chop clean my mouth.
“I’m sure there are people he is having things with that are not even on the media. Chioma is the woman at home, I am the other woman because I am not sure I want to be the woman at home that my husband goes out and falls in love with another woman and pretend to be in love with more,” she said partly.
