Davido’s Dream of Headlining Madison Square Garden Is Part of a Bigger One: ‘We’re Changing the Narrative of Being African in America’

Davido speaks with Billboard about his upcoming headlining concert at Madison Square Garden, relationship with Chris Brown, new album and more.

Davido has been on a victory lap since last March when he dropped his fourth studio album Timeless, which earned the Afrobeats heavyweight three Grammy nominations this year. The greats have performed there, like Michael Jackson,” he tells Billboard over Zoom while on the set of his music video for the Fave-assisted “Kante.” “I did five arenas last year for the Timeless Tour. I think we drop another one in a couple of weeks, so watch out for that.” The two have collaborated on “Blow My Mind” and “Lower Body” in 2019, “Shopping Spree” (also with Young Thug) in 2020 and “Nobody Has to Know” in 2022.
