[@NorthStarP]

The world needs to hear a story like Davidos 🇳🇬💪🏾 instead of just hearing about Africa’s poverty & corruption.

[@ioneseven]

Unlike many artists, Davido says "WE" instead of "I" a lot when talking about his endeavors and accomplishments. He values his team a lot. A leader and a team player. Very honorable!

[@kiathalovelygoddess7137]

[@nmessai215]

The ownership aspect of the afrobeats genre will be important. Hope they keep it 100% African/black. Because white businessmen around the world definitely rubbing their hands like birdman thinking of ways to own the genre
