“Waiting for Rihanna”: Davido Speaks on Afrobeats and American Artists He Plans to Collaborate With

  • International Nigerian singer Davido gave a review on the massive growth of the Afrobeats genre
  • The DMW boss recalled the earlier times in his career when it was necessary to feature an American artist
  • He, however, noted that he has gone past that stage but revealed his burning intentions for the Barbadian star Rihanna

Nigerian singer David Adeleke, aka Davido, spoke about the advancement of Afrobeats and how the American music scene is keying into the bandwagon.

In a recent interview, the singer stated that it used to be very important for an Afrobeats musician to have an American artist on their song, but today it is the opposite.
