With a debut album out and a bag of hits under his belt, it won't be fair to call Davido a starter anymore. O.B.O now ranks as a top artiste with an A-List status in the Nigerian music scene with the likes of 2face Idibia, Psquare, Iyanya, Wizkid and co.

So it's a bit surprising to hear Davido say he doesn't charge for features. The Pop singer responded to a fan on Twitter who felt it would take a huge 'budget' to get him (Davido) on a track. 'I don't charge for features', Davido replied.

Nigerian rapper Ice Prince also says he doesn't charge for features. Olamide doesn't seem to belong to that school of thought though; a former representative of his, Rachael, told NET the 'Durosoke' rapper currently charges N1m.

" @walter2smooth: To have @iam_Davido take a verse on your song, you gotta make the budget one year ahead"

I heard he paid NaetoC 1 Million Naira for his track 'Back When' so it's safe to say he pays heavily to feature someone too!
He is also known as Omo Baba Olowo so I would be shocked to even hear he charges for features. Good one from him
I just Davido isn't lying o.
This will be very hard for some people in that industry o.
You know say Money no be problem.
