Davido has stated that Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj have a deep appreciation for African culture.
Nigerian music star Davido recently shed light on the growing appreciation for African music and culture among prominent American artists. In a compelling interview in Atlanta, he emphasized that both Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj regard Africa highly, particularly in their musical collaborations.
Davido noted that his recent collaboration with Nicki Minaj on the track “If It’s Okay” was heavily infused with Afrobeats, as she expressed a desire for a genuine African sound. He remarked, “These days, foreign artists want to do our musical styles, so it is easier for me to work with them.” This sentiment reflects a broader trend where artists from different cultural backgrounds increasingly seek to incorporate diverse musical elements, enriching their work.
In his collaboration with Chris Brown on the song “Sensational,” Davido initially aimed to cater to an American sound. However, Brown insisted on maintaining the Afrobeats essence, even encouraging Davido to sing in Pidgin during the recordings. This dedication to preserving African musicality illustrates the respect that these artists hold for the continent’s rich cultural heritage.
Both Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj have a track record of exalting African artists, collaborating with several to showcase the vibrancy and dynamism of Afrobeats on a global stage. As the world continues to gravitate towards diverse musical influences, the partnership between African and Western artists symbolizes a harmonious blend of cultures that transcends borders. Through these collaborations, the influence of African music is poised to make an indelible mark on the global music landscape.

This simple yet profound statement underscores a realistic and mature acceptance of the inevitable aging process. The actress, widely celebrated for her beauty and impactful contributions to Nollywood since 1998, acknowledges mortality with refreshing candor. Her response serves as a reminder that aging is a natural and privileged experience, a perspective often overshadowed in the pursuit of perpetual youth.
