Famous Nigerian singer Davido, also known as David Adeleke, has stated that he receives special treatment worldwide due to his celebrity status.
The Afrobeats sensation mentioned that he is invited to presidential dinners in every country he visits, with the exception of the United States and the United Kingdom.
During an interview with Kiss Fresh London, Davido proudly claimed that his fanbase includes high-profile figures such as the World Bank president and leaders of powerful nations.
He emphasized that he is most respected in Africa, which is why he prefers his African tours over European and American tours, despite earning more money in the Western world.
“Every country we go to, the President invites us for dinner except London [United Kingdom] and the United States of America.
“It’s beautiful to see. I mean, leaving my country, Nigeria, and people welcoming me like the president in other countries, shows how well Nigeria is doing around the world in terms of music and cultural impacts,” he said.
Davido also revealed that his Jamaican collaborator, YG Marley, was amazed by the immense love and support shown by his fans during a recent visit to Nigeria for the filming of their successful collaboration ‘Awuke.’
