Nigerian megastar Davido expressed his thoughts on how entertainment was helping Nigerians and Africans to escape harsh realities.
In an interview on Kiss FM, Davido was asked about the international ascension of Afrobeats and the award-winning megastar stated that he was proud to see Nigerian artists excelling internationally and delighted that music is offering Nigerians a way out of hardship.
Davido shared that he was proud to see Rema breaking the African record for the highest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 while recalling when he first met Rema when he just got signed by D’Prince.
“It’s the government’s job to provide means by which the citizens can have a better and easier life however, the government has failed in its task and entertainment is providing the much-needed outlet” Davido said.
Davido recently released his highly anticipated fourth album ‘Timeless’ which has received a warm reception both locally and internationally. The album is already on course to be Davido’s most commercial album yet and the hitmaker.
The album recorded the highest first-week streams of any album in Audiomack’s history.
