Award-winning Nigerian music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has said contrary to assumptions that he, Wizkid, and Burna Boy are currently the three biggest Afrobeats in the world, he is the only big Afrobeats artiste.
Davido featured in a recent podcast interview with Sway’s Universe.
The host asked, “You are the African big three alongside Wizkid and Burna Boy. Do you feel like you guys are the big three Afrobeats artistes on the planet?”
Davido replied, “I am big me.”
Speaking on future collaboration, Davido said he is expecting a collaboration with Rihanna after she declared his song ‘Unavailable’ her favourite song.
“Aside Chris Brown, I’m not going to disturb myself for any other American collaboration. Rihanna said ‘Unavailable’ is her best song, so I’m waiting to work with her,” he said.
He also claimed that his song with Chris Brown, ‘Blow My Mind’ is the best Afrobeats and American artists’ collaboration after Drake and Wizkid’s ‘One Dance.’
“Blow My Mind’ with Chris Brown was the first US x Afrobeats collaboration to go crazy aside ‘One Dance’,” Davido said.
