Afrobeats Superstar Davido Talks Headlining Madison Square Garden and Wanting to Work With Rihanna and Jelly Roll


Afrobeats superstar Davido talks about his headlining gig at Madison Square Garden, African music's rise, and his hopes of working with Rihanna.

The duality is evident in his deep connections within the hip-hop scene and his distinct African flair showcased in collaborations such as his recent hit single with Chris Brown, “Sensational.” (Note: This interview took place before a video circulated of Davido apparently weeping on the phone with his ex; his rep had no comment on it.) The track made its mark on urban and rhythmic stations nationwide, climbing the charts nearly two years after its initial release and securing a spot in the top 20 on both formats. Fans can expect the high-octane energy Davido brings to his live performances, alongside higher grade of production and storytelling within the setlist.
