Afro beats has become so big and commercialized they even play it in dillards department store. I was like wtf lol so dope.
What I love is that many of these Afrobeats artists were already very successful within Africa long before their music was being appreciated in the USA and Europe. I think It's really important to tell that narrative particularly to Americans who may assume that their success is tied to being popular in the USA. Some of these artists have been selling out mega arena's and stadiums across the African continent before you even knew who they were.

Nigeria is one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world, with over 500 languages spoken. The official language is English, but it is spoken less frequently in rural areas and amongst people with lower education levels.

The way they raise their children with so much respect is admirable. He didn’t want to disappoint his family or his father. If you have ever seen him with his father and elders he is so respectful.
I love through out this interview Davido is not divisive not wanting to pin artist against artist or countries but champions them all. Something could be learned from his support for Africans through out this conversation. 🇭🇹
Shout out to Davido for putting Africa on the Map. This was yet another great interview and Drink Champs does it like no other media platform out there in America. Much love to the Team. Dj EFN we see you 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
David is so humorous and his story to super stardom is lit. The part where his paps got him arrested ....that was really gangsta

We love Davido......It's all music, it's all universal.
Big up Davido Percussion is very important in African and Caribbean music because it provides the rhythmic foundation for the music. In many African and Caribbean cultures, the drum is considered a sacred instrument that connects people to their cultural heritage and spiritual practices. The rhythms played on percussion instruments are often complex and polyrhythmic, with multiple rhythms played simultaneously, creating a rich and dynamic sound. The use of percussion in African and Caribbean music also serves as a form of communication, as different rhythms and drumming patterns can convey different messages and meanings. Overall, percussion plays a vital role in the music and culture of many African and Caribbean communities, serving as a powerful tool for self-expression, communication, and connection.

The real COMING TO AMERICA! Drink Champs, you guys did good with this episode. Davido is a Musical ICON!
I speak Tiv because that's my tribe; English because it's the official language here; Pidgin because, I mean, it's the language of convenience on the streets; French & Spanish because I have a B.A. in French with a Spanish minor. Then, I understand Igbo where my wife is from and also Hausa because, of course I'm from North-Central Nigeria... Only recently, I started learning Yoruba from an app called MemRise. So, yeah, a lot of Africans are so diverse linguistically.
I love the authentic representative of African culture an African artist. No code-switching, straight Naija vibes...Also, I am happy that they get to casually experience intergenerational African wealth
African's are the best story tellers!🤣🤣🤣

Please stop calling Davido the King of Afrobeats, he isn’t Wizkid is the King of Afrobeats he’s the Afrobeats artist who has been in the forefront of taking Afrobeats to the world. Davido isn’t on the same level as Wizkid or Burna Boy. Wizkid is the MOST DECORATED African artist, fact don’t lie. Wizkid has lifted up lots of artists who are stars now, but because he’s humble you wouldn’t know that. I’m not a fan of Davido, because he’s arrogant and proud. He want to be on the same level as Wizkid but he is not. Davido loves to brag and flaunt his money. Davido loves to take credit for things he didn’t do. How many artists he helped that are stars. Please, Davido is fake. Davido album is ok but it’s only charting high in Africa and UK.
