Nigerian Entertainment News: Davido Sets Sights on American Dream After African Success
In a recent interview with Billboard, Davido, the renowned Nigerian artist also known as David Adeleke, expressed his aspiration to transition towards his American ambitions after achieving success in Africa
The ‘OBO’ crooner declared his intention to collaborate with artists globally as he works on two separate albums tailored for African and American audiences.
Davido, who originally hails from Atlanta, USA, but grew up in Nigeria from a young age, highlighted his desire to expand his artistic endeavors beyond African borders.
He said;
“I want to drop this album by the grace of God. Hopefully, we get to hit No. 1. I just want to share great ideas and great music with other artists, influence other artists, write and produce for other people. Just getting to the dream. I’ve lived the African dream, now I’m trying to get to the American dream.”
Speaking on his relationship with American artists, Davido said,
“I think I connect with Atlanta artists, especially having lived there for about four, five years there. I currently have a house in Atlanta, so when it comes to the American culture, I learned most of it in the South. So I think I relate better with Atlanta artists, being around [Young] Thug and being around people. Like, I been knew Gunna even before either he or I popped off.”
