Like Wizkid, Davido is gradually taking over the world with his Afro-pop music. Today, the ‘Aye’ singer shared a sneak peak of American rapper French Montana bobbing to his song, ‘Money’.
“To the world! French Montana vibing to the ‘Money’ on his snap,” David wrote, adding, “Africa, we coming thruu!”
Following his historical deal with Sony Global, the singer revealed that he will be collaborating with top acts which include Young Thug and Future. Earlier on, Davido said his new album ‘Baddest’ would be dropped this year, but in a recent interview, the HKN boss said he wasn’t so sure anymore about releasing the new work this year, as he is doing a lot of work on the album.
Meanwhile, Davido headlined the FADER concert last week. Next, he was featured in prestigious magazine, Rolling Stone’s ’25 Artists You Need To See’ list.
Read how the magazine introduced him:
“Ever since he hit with 2012’s effusive “Dami Duro,” Davido has been one of Africa’s biggest rising stars. Now that he’s signed an international deal with Sony, it looks like he may become one of the world’s biggest, too. To American ears, his sound seems to split the difference between dance music’s uptempo beats, R&B melodies and hip-hop’s effortless swag. Yet it’s all incorporated through a sound that is distinctly African, with rhythms that prove to be more compulsively danceable than most things making waves on the Hot 100. His upcoming album Baddest — which he recently revealed to Fader will include a feature from rapper Future — will be a major test for African artists crossing over in the United States. But Davido is confident: “I know what kind of songs work. The music should have everything in it — Jamaican, African, American, everything.”
