Davido Reflects on Career Milestones, Collaborations with Chris Brown, Lojay, and Nicki Minaj

Nigerian superstar and billionaire heir, David 'Davido' Adeleke, has recently grabbed headlines after offering some insightful commentary during an interview. The award-winning artist, who has faced criticism from certain Nigerians for a controversy dubbed "National Betrayal," opened up about several significant milestones in his career.

Reflecting on his collaboration with American singer Chris Brown, Davido shared that Chris initially wanted him to use his natural African accent for their track, rather than the American accent he had been attempting. The collaboration proved fruitful, earning Davido a Grammy nomination—a moment he also credited to the rising star, Lojay, whom he introduced to Chris Brown. Davido also mentioned that despite Lojay not being widely known at the time, Chris Brown showed no hesitation in working with him.

In a light-hearted moment, Davido joked about how Lojay, who earned his first Grammy nomination in just four years, has already achieved what Davido himself, with 14 years in the game, has only managed twice.
