Award-winning Afrobeat singer David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has crowned himself the ‘King of Nigeria’.
The music star, who has been on tour, in a video making rounds online was captured on the streets of Paris exchanging pleasantries with some fans as his security surrounded him. The singer ran into an Arab and his friends, who introduced himself as a Saudi Arabian Prince. Davido also introduced himself as the King of Nigeria as he took photos and exchanged contact with the Prince.
Davido isn’t the only one who sees himself as the King of music. Senator Dino Melaye expressed that Davido was undoubtedly the 001 in the Nigerian music industry. He also further stated that Davido was the most patronized globally.
In April, Davido had bragged as he reflected on his musical journey. In a tweet, he expressed that since he came into the game, nobody has had peace, as he admitted that he loved that effect.
Last year, the Grammy nominee noted how people always come together to discredit him. However, God was working overtime for him. He declared that 2024 was his year as he admonished people to fix their speakers as he was coming.
He had also sent a message to his naysayers and those who underestimated him. The Afrobeat singer told his haters and critics never to play with God as he listed out his wins, noting how people mocked him for not having a Grammy nomination, and now he had it and much more.
In other news, Davido, in an interview, opened up on the cost of having him on any show. He revealed that he charges 600,000 dollars (550,000 million naira) for each show he’s invited to, and as such, he has limited the amount of shows he attends in a month to at least four.
