Popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke aka Davido, has spoken on the global surge of the Afrobeat genre.
Speaking during the Hiptv panel discussion with the United States Advisories Council on Africa Diaspora Engagement and Leaders In Nigeria’s Creative Industries, the newly married musician stated that African Artists are now selling the same tickets as pop and hip-hop stars like Drake.
He noted that the earnings from an afrobeats single can translate to generational wealth.
