Davido, the Nigerian megastar, recently spoke about how entertainment is serving as a means of escape for Nigerians and Africans from their harsh realities.
His fourth album, 'Timeless,' which was highly anticipated, has received a positive response both locally and internationally, and is on track to become his most commercially successful album yet. Davido is thrilled that music is offering Nigerians a way out of hardship.
During an interview on Kiss FM, Davido expressed his pride in seeing Nigerian artists excel internationally and mentioned Rema, who recently broke the African record for the highest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100.
Davido fondly recalled meeting Rema when he was just signed by D’Prince.
Davido stated that it is the government's responsibility to provide citizens with a better and easier life, but the government has failed in its duties, and entertainment is providing the much-needed outlet for Nigerians.
Davido's new album, 'Timeless,' which was released on March 31, 2023, has broken first-week records across all five major streaming platforms in Nigeria.
It achieved the highest first-week streams of any album in Audiomack's history, as well as setting a new record for the most first-day and first-week streams of any album on Spotify Nigeria, Apple Music Africa, Boomplay, and YouTube Nigeria.
On April 23, 2023, Davido will perform songs from his new album at a highly anticipated show in TBS Lagos.
