Davido Reveals The Country Where He Makes The Bulk Of His Money

Frontline hip hop singer, David Adeleke has said the bulk of his earnings as an artist does not come from outside the shores of the continent of Africa. 

During a sit-down with Complex, featuring Nigerian/American rapper Wale, Davido stated that he doesn’t make as much money in the US as he does in Africa. 

“Till today, most of the money I am making is from Africa and in most cases, it is from Nigeria. This is because, in America, we are seen as, I won’t say upcoming, but I won’t get the same bang I will get over here except it is like a big festival”.

Davido who revealed this in a chat with Complex talked about how much his music earns him in Africa.

He stated, “But in Nigeria or Africa, somebody gives birth to a baby, just doing a naming ceremony, they will call you to perform two songs, they will give you $100,000 (N42million), do you understand? Just because Africans like partying, like enjoyment.”

According to the “OBO” crooner, he makes more money in Africa and is less likely to make as much as US artists. The hitmaker also talked about how he works and the piece of advice he often shares with fellow Nigerian musicians abroad.
