During the interview, he acknowledged that the global growth of Afrobeat has exceeded his expectations. Davido proudly commended stars like Rema for making waves internationally.
“Years ago, I never thought a Nigerian artiste would have a Top 5 record in America. Rema has had Top 5 records in America for the past eight months, non-shaken,” he declared.
