“I’ve lived the African dream, now I’m trying to live the American dream” – Davido
Renowned Nigerian musician, Davido, has made public his intention to chase the American dream while emphasizing his established success in Africa.
During a recent conversation with Billboard, Davido disclosed his ongoing efforts on crafting two distinct albums—one tailored for the African scene and another aimed at the American listenership.
The acclaimed ‘OBO’ sensation conveyed his eagerness to engage in collaborations with artists and creatives globally, aiming to broaden his reach.
“I want to drop this album by the grace of God. Hopefully, we get to hit No. 1. I just want to share great ideas and great music with other artists, influence other artists, write and produce for other people. Just getting to the dream. I’ve lived the African dream, now I’m trying to get to the American dream.”
“I think I connect with Atlanta artists, especially having lived there for about four, five years there. I currently have a house in Atlanta, so when it comes to the American culture, I learned most of it in the South. So I think I relate better with Atlanta artists, being around [Young] Thug and being around people. Like, I been knew Gunna even before either he or I popped off.”
