David Adeleke, also known as Davido, discussed the growing popularity of Afrobeat music globally during a panel discussion on Hiptv with the United States Advisory Council on Africa Diaspora Engagement and Leaders in Nigeria’s Creative Industries.
He highlighted that Afrobeat artists now sell tickets similar to those of pop and hip-hop stars like Drake. Davido emphasized that a successful Afrobeat single can bring lasting financial security across generations.
He encouraged young musicians to collaborate with peers rather than seeking collaborations abroad, believing that local partnerships lead to greater dedication and success.
In separate news, Lady T, a well-known podcaster, publicly stated her readiness to replace Chioma Adeleke if Davido were to pursue her as his side companion.
This declaration followed her earlier admission that she prefers dating married men but has no desire for marriage herself.
On a recent episode of a Podcast show, Lady T hinted at the possibility of a discreet relationship with Davido, contrasting her approach with Chioma’s role as a dedicated wife.
She expressed her preference not to become a full-time homemaker, emphasizing her stance on relationships and marital responsibilities.
