A Collaboration With Wizkid Might Not Blow – Davido

Popular Afrobeats singer Davido has expressed confidence that a joint tour with Wizkid would sell out venues worldwide. He recently had his say during an appearance on the IONWANNATALK show, and fans have been reacting.

Stressing that he would charge $500,000 for each performance, Davido, however, expressed uncertainty about whether a joint song with Wizkid would become a hit, citing the collaboration between D’banj and 2Baba as an example.

Addressing his readiness to move past disagreements, the “Feel” crooner added that maturity is necessary to acknowledge when one’s feelings about another person has changed.

His words, “If Wizkid and I do a song together, I don’t know if it will pop because when D’banj and 2Baba did a record together, it didn’t really pop.

If we tour together, I’ll ask for $500,000 per show because I know every venue will sell out.

I felt that way at some point but not anymore, and it takes a great man to do that.”

He studied business administration at Oakwood University before dropping out to make beats and record vocal references. Davido rose to fame after releasing “Dami Duro”, the second single from his debut studio album Omo Baba Olowo (2012), from which six additional singles—”Back When”, “Ekuro”, “Overseas”, “All of You”, “Gbon Gbon”, and “Feel Alright”—were taken.

In May 2014, Davido criticized the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) after missing his flight to London, and accused them of pestering him for money. On May 11, 2014, the PR officer for the NIS denied Davido’s allegations and said they did not issue him an exit permit because he did not have the correct travel documents with him.

On April 6, 2012, Nigerian Entertainment Today reported Davido had signed a ₦30 million endorsement deal with MTN. The deal unveiled him as the face of MTN Pulse, a marketing campaign aimed at Nigerian youth. On October 24, 2013, Pulse Nigeria reported Guinness Nigeria had signed Davido for an endorsement deal.
