During an interview with Reena Roy on ABC News, Davido was asked why he is called the “King of Afrobeats”, and he said it as a well-deserved recognition.
He explained that it was the outcome of years of dedication and a journey that commenced in his youth. He proudly asserted that he had garnered respect and acclaim in the Western world.
Speaking on his music style and lifestyle, Davido explained that his songs are deeply rooted in African culture, while his penchant for enjoying life aligns with Western vibes.
He revealed that during his early years, he drew inspiration from Nigerian music icons like 2face, Psquare, and D’banj, while also enjoying the sounds of American rappers such as 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Nelly, and Ludacris.
