“Foreign Artists Want To Do Our Musical Styles”
Nigerian music star Davido has shared that American artists Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj have great respect for Africa.
He claimed that both musicians have a profound respect for the music and culture of the continent.
In a recent interview with Hot 107.9 FM in Atlanta posted on X Wednesday, Davido revealed that Brown and Minaj like to incorporate Afrobeats into their collaborations with him rather than adhere to Western genres.

“My recent collaboration with Nicki Minaj, ‘If It’s Okay,’ has a lot of Afrobeats influence because she wanted full African flavor on it. These days, foreign artists want to do our musical styles, so it is easier for me to work with them,” he said.
“When we were recording ‘Sensational’ with Chris Brown, I was trying to make it American, but he insisted I include Afrobeats. He asked me to sing in Pidgin. My dancers were the video vixens in ‘Sensational.’ They even went on tour with Chris Brown.”
“Nicki and I were on phone for like 30 minutes to arrange a record this morning, for Nicki to give me thirty minutes of her time.”
Chris Brown has worked with several African artists, including Davido, Wizkid, Rema, Fireboy, and Lojay, and has also toured with Ayra Starr and South African singer Tyla.
