Nigerian Artiste, Davido has revealed that he is not keen on breaking into the international music market because he feels a sense of responsibility to promote “the culture.”
“To be honest, I’m not into this international stuff but I’m really doing it because I’m one of those people
pioneering this movement. I have to put a cape on my back and do it for the culture but I always prefer being at home,” he said.
When asked about African artistes in the diaspora who are trying to connect with the Nigerian audience, Davido said they should relocate to the country. According to him, one can’t compare the African market to the European market because the vibe back home is bigger. He further stated that a music show in Africa can pack a crowd of 18, 000, but that is hardly obtainable in Europe where you can only get up to 10, 000 fans at a concert.
The singer is currently gearing up to release his new album in September, after which he intends to headline a concert at the O2 Arena in London.
