Davido Shares His Career Journey And Thoughts On The Global Business Of Afrobeats
Ойын-сауық
Afrobeats is in the midst of a global renaissance. The distinctly African sound has gone global, largely in thanks to Afrobeats superstar Davido, who has amassed 2 billion-plus streams and over 1 billion video views across his 11-year career. The most followed Afrobeats artist across social media, Davido has been a frontrunner in connecting the world to Afrobeats and vice versa. In this conversation with Forbes Chief Content Officer Randall Lane at the Forbes Under 30 Summit Africa, he talks tunes, his Nigerian record label (Davido Music Worldwide), his non-profit (David Adeleke Foundation) and how maintaining his African roots has translated into dollar signs over time.

Davido has finally taken his rightful place and now his talent is recognised. I like the fact that he didn't give up. Congrats Davido.
Davido opened the business side of music in Nigeria.

Davido is Timeless ❤
Davido, Wiz and Burna are also active but you don't have the same nature. You engage more with the members of the public than them. You can sing on stage and at the same time jump around on stage, a thing which others don't do or can't do. You are full of energy.

You couldn’t be more RIGHT fact David engages more towards the public than the other two. That’s why he’s goldmine for endorsement. That said, Wiz and Burna have folks that handled their PR, but agree they don’t have the personality to computer with David’s influencing skill. Performance wise , Burna is the best , but David’s energy is the best.
