This is quite interesting seeing as one thing used to measure the success of an artiste in Nigeria is the level of reach they have internationally.
A number of Nigerian celebs have been known to court international collabos and we cannot fault them.
Just recently, Legit.ng reported that Nigerian superstar, Davido, collaborated with US-based singer, Enisa, on a track.
They were recently spotted on set together as they shot a music video for their work.
While on set, Davido tried to teach Enisa to speak pidgin English and it was captured in a funny video that later made the rounds online.
Davido was seen trying to get her to speak pidgin with the correct intonation. He taught her how to say ‘how you dey’ while explaining that it meant ‘how are you’.
