Wizkid inspired me to become an artiste – Singer Davido reveals (Video)

 

In a recent statement, the renowned Afrobeats artist David Adeleke, professionally known as Davido, revealed that his colleague, Wizkid, served as an inspiration for his own artistic career.

During an interview, Davido shared that when he was residing in the United States of America (USA), he witnessed upcoming artists like Wizkid striving to gain recognition in the Nigerian music industry. This motivated him to pursue a career as a singer.

At that time, prominent artists in Nigeria included Psquare, D’banj, and 2Baba. However, the emergence of Wizkid captured Davido’s interest and sparked his desire to be a part of the Nigerian music industry.

In his words; “I remember being in the club then like the biggest artistes were like Psquare, D’banj, even then Wizkid was like young, really young because I remember like he was just coming up in the game, so the game was coming up.

And I remember that moment I was like I want to do Nigerian music  I want to get on this early, like I can really tall like is going to be big.”

Undoubtedly, despite the industrial rivalry between Wizkid and Davido over the years, the two artistes are one of the biggest things to happen to the Afrobeats as they have taken the music genre to a global level thereby putting the country’s name on the world map.
